The NeedyMonster

Apr 1, 2025

"The NeedyMonster" is the multi-award-winning short film that swept international festivals and took home several Academy Awards. It tells the unforgettable story of Jonathan, a sensitive young boy caught in the emotional whirlwind of leaving his childhood home. Out of his deepest fears and longing bursts the NeedyMonster—an oddly sweet, clingy creature with וואחד פה ג'ורה and a romantic (and a bit sexual) drama with Jonathan in the background. As Jonathan’s world spins out of control, the line between reality and imagination blurs. With stunning visuals and a heart-punch of a story, The NeedyMonster dives into the chaos of childhood emotion, showing that sometimes our most annoying monsters are just the parts of us screaming to be heard. Hailed as “a masterpiece of emotional fantasy” by critics worldwide, this film isn’t just seen—it’s felt.
