A scared teenager and a man living under the painful weight of past mistakes find an unlikely connection in writer/director Kelsey Taylor’s quietly moving drama To Kill a Wolf. Loosely inspired by the classic Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale, it shows how having even just one person who believes you — and believes in you — can make a huge difference when you’re trying to get past a traumatic situation.

Filmmaker Kelsey Taylor takes inspiration from Little Red Riding Hood in her haunting feature, To Kill A Wolf. The story follows a reclusive Woodsman as he spends his days searching for traps in the wilderness surrounding his cabin. He purposely triggers them to protect the animals. On one of his voyages, he discovers a half-frozen young girl and takes her to his cabin for rehabilitation.
