Inspired by fairy tales about predators that call back to classics like Grimm brothers fables, Shawn Linden decided to create his own take on the genre in a modern setting.
The story was plotted out during a trip home from a European film festival back in 2007 but Linden didn’t get to actually create the film until 13 years later. Set against the backdrop of a remote cabin in Canada, a family lives off the grid, working and surviving as fur trappers who have largely shunned the norms of society to instead live off the land.
A father named Joseph spends hours each day trapping and capturing animals to provide for his family while also teaching his daughter the skills she’ll need to do the same as him one day. But when a wolf reappears in the woods near the family’s home, the need to survive is even greater because now it may be man vs. beast. Joseph leaves to go on the hunt but he’s forced to leave his wife and daughter behind and when they come upon an injured man in the woods near their home, they begin to wonder who is hunting who.
