“A short that is chock full of creative brilliance as it allows Stephanie "Monty" Montgomery to both tell and illustrate her story of working at a strip club.” - Short Stick Films

“ Topping the list of Tribeca 2025’s female-directed shorts is Catie Skipp’s Monster Slayer” - “There’s a simplicity and directness to the format that proves powerful” - “Monster Slayer is about resilience, fighting back and using art to heal. Kudos to Monty and the almost entirely female crew who brought this story to light with such compassion and artistry.” - FEMME-HELMED SHORTS (Tribeca 2025) – Reviews by Beth Accomando, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
