Be My Cat: A Film for Anne (2015)

Adrian, an aspiring Romanian actor and filmmaker, plans to convince American actress Anne Hathaway, with whom he is obsessed, to come to Romania and star alongside him in his upcoming film, Be My Cat, inspired by her portrayal of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. Adrian locates three local actresses to use to shoot demo scenes to send to Anne as proof of his filmmaking and acting skills, though he lies and tells the actresses he is making a movie.

The first actress, Sonia, meets Adrian at an abandoned house down the street from where he stays with his mother. He explains that Be My Cat is about a stalker obsessed with an actress, and as filming begins, the lines start to blur between the real Adrian and his character. Adrian begins shooting a scene with Sonia that doubles as a frustrating acting exercise. Sonia eventually calls the police, but Adrian explains to them that it was a misunderstanding and convinces Sonia to shoot another scene at night. While filming a scene in which the stalker uses chloroform to abduct the actress, Adrian uses real chloroform and knocks Sonia out.

After taking Sonia to his bedroom, Adrian undresses her and puts her in a catsuit. Speaking to the camera, he promises Anne that he would never do this in real life and is only acting in character, and that he is worthy of Anne in every way, suggesting that his intentions for Anne may be more than artistic. Adrian stays the night beside the unconscious Sonia. When she wakes up frightened, he insists that she must be sacrificed for her art before choking her to death and hiding her body in the basement.

While going to meet his second actress, Adrian explains that he was bullied in the past; due to this, he dislikes boys and dogs for their meanness, but likes girls and cats due to their sweetness and innocence. He also explains that the character in his film seeks to turn the actress character into a surrogate of his cat that he accidentally killed, based on how Adrian accidentally killed his own cat as a child. Incidentally, he chances upon a dead cat on the side of the road.

Upon meeting the second actress, Flory, Adrian discovers that the photos she had sent him of herself were outdated. Displeased with her age and weight, Adrian berates her. Flory offers him sexual favors in exchange for letting her be in the movie, but he refuses.

Adrian agrees to allow Flory to stay as they pick up the third actress, Alexandra. Adrian asks Alexandra to wait upstairs, then ties up Flory in the basement and uses a kitchen knife to remove fat from her body in an attempt to make her thinner. Two neighbors arrive to investigate after hearing Flory's screams, but Adrian convinces them that they are merely filming a horror movie. Later that night, Adrian returns with a catsuit, intending for Flory to wear it, but is surprised to find her dead from blood loss. Acknowledging that he has completely disappeared into his character, he feels that he has already proved his talents to Anne and thus can send Alexandra home.

When Alexandra finds Flory's body, Adrian reluctantly deliberates killing Alexandra, knowing she will likely report him to the police. She briefly tries to escape, but ultimately tries to reason with Adrian. He finds himself somewhat attracted to Alexandra due to her resemblance to Anne, but assures Anne that he only loves her. Using this to her advantage, Alexandra encourages him to travel to Hollywood so he can profess his feelings for Anne in person. Adrian is initially apprehensive due to his fear of leaving his hometown, but relents when Alexandra excites him with the prospect of marrying and having children with Anne. He agrees to let her live on the condition that she wait in the basement for thirty minutes, giving him time to escape and leave for Hollywood. Alexandra wishes him luck, and an overjoyed Adrian, deciding that he does not need to make a movie after all since the movie was just a means to be with Anne, turns off the camera.
