Bonnut Film Studio has finished it’s first in a handful of short films leading up to the production of our first Feature Length film. “Wolf in the Fold” was filmed completely on Super 8 in Tri-X and Plus-X, with the exception of the time lapse, which was shot with a still camera with Tri-X.
The style of the film is mainly German Expressionist (i.e. F.W. Murnau) mixed with Early American Cinema (i.e. D.W. Griffith). So as you can guess it is a silent film, a very nice musical soundtrack by Tom Stroll accompanies it. The film was written, directed and edited by me, Ernie Zahn and it was telecined very well by Co-director of “Sleep Always,” Mitch Perkins.
The DVD will be available soon with commentaries, trailers, scouting footage, and outtakes. The DVD’s will have complete artwork on both the jewel cases and the DVD’s themselves.

Here’s the story for “Wolf in the Fold:”
30 years after the over throw of their monarchy, this small country in Eastern Europe is plagued by a string of murders committed by what the locals believe is a phantom or demon. It's up to Freder (Dylan Rose) and his investigation partner, Charles (Alex Dadzis), to solve this series of killings before the stability of the country is compromised.

CAST:
Dylan Rose as Freder
Christina White as Aurelia
Alex Dadzis as Charles
Parker Bonnell/Kieran Hartley as Raymond Grehm
Tom Stroll as The Killer
Griffen Sandberg as The Hobo
Jamie Kalifah as The Vandal
Kieran Hartley as The Messenger Boy

I will post the trailer here soon. For now I have some screens of the film. If you would like to reserve a copy of the film let me know at OverTheHillsAndFarAway@msn.com. They will be $5.00 + $1.00 (Shipping/Handling).

Ernie,

Congratulations on finishing the film! The stills look great and I'm looking forward to seeing the trailer.
Since you shot the film in our favorite format, your posting in this section is perfectly legit!

Doug

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the DVD is ready for release! There will be a screening soon but I believe there are no more seats. It's a quite small screening 30 seats or so, but it's my first [Smile]
