WOLF COUNTRY is a dystopian short film in which a privileged caste can hunt down the "unproductive" beings in society. Eira, our protagonist, must face her initiation ritual: killing her first human prey .
In times when hatred advances in institutions and monopolizes hours of media coverage, culture faces the challenge of asking questions that help us to put ourselves in the shoes of others .
This film wants to contribute to the discussion by depicting a world in which the wealthier class is allowed to control the population of lower classes as if they were wild animals.
Help us to finish this short film by a group of students in Hollywood, which will be a cover letter for all of them in the film industry. We want to finish production and take this story to festivals around the world to open the debate: where does hatred come from and what can we do to fight against it?
With this story we want to ask ourselves what makes a person different from another. And we want to do it from the big screen because we understand that cinema and culture in general are fundamental spaces for analysis and debate.
The idea came up during a conversation about the latest massacres in the United States and their common denominator: the ignorance of other realities and the lack of empathy. Does our perception of others change when we accept the challenge of knowing the "other"?
What will we do with the money raised?
Wolf Country is the third short film we have produced in Los Angeles as a student crew. We are making a strong commitment to him because we believe in the story we are telling.
Our goals is to continue exposing social problems that we don't usually see in the arts. We believe that this film will be our best introduction to the professional world in order to continue making good quality independent cinema.
We are addressing people who love cinema and need new stories and people interested in innovative perspectives. We are looking for an audience interested in hearing the voices of young creators who are willing to go off the beaten path and bring their ideas to the big screen.
In Wolf Country, the whole crew has been working in film productions for several years. Many of our 22 team members are students or recent graduates. We come from all over the world, but we have met in Hollywood , where we continue to learn project by project.
Our director is Chémi Pérez , who is also a documentary filmmaker and journalist. After making several independent documentaries in Mexico, Guatemala and Argentina, he worked at PlayGround magazine as a video editor. He studied a master's degree in contemporary film at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona and now he is pursuing a master's degree in filmmaking in Los Angeles thanks to a Fulbright scholarship. His latest fiction shorts are L.A. Kelly (2019) and The Last Equinox (2019), which are about to be premiered at film festivals.
Maya Riquelme is our cinematographer. She is also film director and university professor from Ciudad del Este (Paraguay). She has just shot her thesis La Pandilla de San Antonio in her hometown and is still ready to take on the world. She is finishing her Master in Film at the New York Film Academy, also thanks to a Fulbright scholarship.
Joel Cazorla is our creative producer and journalist. He currently works with La Opinion, the most widely circulated Spanish language outlet in the US, covering national politics and immigration. His past as a documentary maker also took him to Mexico, Argentina, Madrid and Barcelona.
The crew is completed by an international group of young people who have been working together for the last two years in film production in Los Angeles:
Our cast is made up of five great actors with a really promising future:
Our team needs a final push to create a short film that will open discussions about one of the crucial problems of our society: hate crimes and violence. In many countries of the world, even more so in contexts of economic crisis, the social gap widens. Through a fictional and dystopian approach we want to point out that hate is not the solution and that sometimes, in order to understand others, we just have to put ourselves in their shoes.
