You can’t say that Bobby Yeah, an anthropomorphic monstrosity with a body covered in rags and the face of a deformed humanoid, leads a very varied life. His monotonous days are spent kidnapping animals, which he takes to his ramshackle room and mistreats. And yet this bizarre routine seems to satisfy him. At least until one day he has the awful idea of stealing the puppy that belongs to some dangerous individuals, who look even odder than he does and who are, if possible, even more brusque than him. Is Bobby Yeah finally about to receive his come-uppance?
Biography
film director
Robert Morgan
Robert Morgan grew up in the cursed (according to what people say) city of Yateley, England, where as a child he developed a passion for horror movies. He studied animation filmmaking at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design and debuted in 1997 with the animated short The Man in the Lower - Left Hand Corner of the Photograph, which won numerous prizes on the festival circuit, as did his next film, The Cat with Hands (2001), which was financed by Channel 4. His film The Separation (2003), besides winning several prestigious international prizes, also gave Morgan what he considers the biggest sign of appreciation: a spectator fainted during the projection of the film. He next directed Monsters (2004), which was presented at the 2004 Edinburgh International Film Festival; Overtaken (2009); and Bobby Yeah (2011).

Declaration
film director
“I’m not sure where my work comes from. I’ve always liked horror films, and I suppose when I was a kid I liked lifting up rocks to see what was underneath – maybe it’s an extension of that. I’m certainly not a dark kind of person. It’s not like I sit in some Gothic mansion drinking Absinthe and thinking this stuff up. I just like to make films about these fleshy abominations having a really bad time. I don’t know why.”
