New Showbiz Analysis

Animus is a 2017 horror short directed by Meosha Bean and Markisha Fernando. The only concrete facts are the directors, a TV-PG rating, and a top-billed cast that includes Raymond Delshad as Dylan and Kenneth Dean Tran as Self/Lead/Antagonist. Beyond that, the record offers a one-line overview and no plot summary, character descriptions, or thematic detail. Because the available material is so thin, there is no evidence of LGBTQ+, gender, racial, cultural, or disability representation on screen. The zero scores reflect this absence of information, not a verdict on the film’s actual content. The sole positive note is that the film is directed by women, which matters for behind-the-camera representation. Until more substantive details emerge, any assessment of on-screen diversity remains speculative.
