What happens

Be My Cat: A Film for Anne is a 2015 English-language Romanian found footage psychological horror film directed, produced, written, and starring Adrian Țofei, about an aspiring filmmaker who goes to extreme levels to convince actress Anne Hathaway to star in his film. It is Țofei's first film and Romania's first found footage horror movie, part of a trilogy which includes We Put the World to Sleep and Pure. Be My Cat was named by IndieWire one of "the 50 best indie horror movies", by Blumhouse one of the "5 new intelligent found footage films", by Vulture one of the "25 best found footage horror movies", and by Dread Central one of the "top 5 best horror movies of 2016". It won Best Film at the 2015 A Night of Horror Film Festival in Sydney and Best Actor for Țofei at the 2016 Nashville Film Festival. IndieWire called it a "hidden gem", "nonstop nightmare" and "dazzling debut", Austin Chronicle named it "terrifying" and compared it to a modern Peeping Tom, Little White Lies called it "a prime example of meta-cinema" and said it falls between Man Bites Dog and Creep, and Dread Central described it as "revolutionary and dangerous". Be My Cat: A Film for Anne premiered in festivals in 2015. Distributor Terror Films acquired the digital rights and released the movie commercially in 2018. It has since gained a cult following.
