About Animal Magnetism
Maya, eccentric animal lover and videographer, is creating a documentary promoting inter-species compassion. Criticized by wealthy, image-conscious parents for an unconventional sleeping arrangement with her pet parrot, Maya is sent to a psychiatrist, who begins to empathize with her unique perspective. Traveling to Thailand, Maya hopes to document the plight of elephants newly retired from the brutal logging industry. Suddenly she finds herself in a magical world populated by tigers who sleep with monks, and friendly elephants who dance, play sports, and paint exquisite pictures. Meanwhile, a seductive stranger with a secret agenda has pulled Maya into a cloak-and-dagger operation which will devastate her own family. Inspired by her remarkable experiences, Maya gains the courage to confront the conflicts which threaten her return home.
Directed by Cybela Clare, Animal Magnetism leans on a strong ensemble — Cybela Clare, Yanni Posnakoff, Herbert Gould — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2016.
