The Minkyu Lee-directed feature, based on a 2017 graphic novel by Molly Knox Ostertag, “takes place in a secret, magical community where girls are born to be witches and boys grow into shapeshifters."

“It has been a life-long dream of mine to create an animated film that pushes the medium forward, both in content and form," Lee said of the film in a statement. "My hope is that this film, by celebrating queerness and 'otherness,' will come to audiences around the world as something truly special.”
