There are filmmakers out there playing with the form, breaking the rules of narrative, and creating some truly unique works with distinctive voices. To find them, you might have to go down less familiar paths, but the rewards are films like Frank Mosley's "Her Wilderness," and today we have the exclusive trailer for his movie. Starring Lauren McCune, Morgana Shaw, Crystal Pate, Jack Elliott, and Riley Templeton, the fairy tale film follows four women wondering just how much power they wield in choosing their next stage in life. And Mosley — as writer, director, and editor — expands "Her Wilderness" across platforms, with an interactive online component paired with main feature that allows a richer exploration into the themes of responsibility, identity, and choice. Having already screened at Sidewalk Film Fest and Dallas Videofest, "Her Wilderness" will next appear at 14 Pews in Houston, Texas on March 7th, Kinoscope in New York.
