Riding Hood Motion Pictures will release the haunting first look teaser trailer of the noir crime thriller, Wolf Mother. The cross genre film, which is written and directed by Erik Peter Carlson (The Toy Soldiers) stars: Najarra Townsend (Contracted), New York stage actor Kevin Pinassi, star of David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” revival – Tom Sizemore, (Saving Private Ryan), ex-con actor Dave Vescio (Hick) and horror genre star and veteran Maria Olsen.
The 1 minute teaser will reveal the first glimpses of our heroes, Townsend and Pinassi, as they mastermind a scheme to find the celebrity child star, Kaitlin Miller, played by newcomer, Kaegan Baron. With gorgeous noir photography, the teaser explores the horror and suspense of their journey, as well as a peak of the Mansonesque clan behind the kidnapping in the captivating opening moments.
Carlson says of the film’s plot and its relevancy: “I’m drawn to stories that in someway are connected to the current state of mind. Stories that are happening now, in our own backyard. Most of the time for me, they just happen to be the darker stories.” Some of that darkness can be seen right now, in the film’s first trailer.
With such serious themes as sex trafficking & child abduction, tonally, I’m not exactly sure what we’re in for. Fingers crossed that they don’t lean too far into the camp.
