Can TO KILL A WOLF Film Really Help Us HEAL From Trauma? Film Discussion with Director Kelsey Taylor

Filmmaker Kelsey Taylor’s breakthrough sci-fi short film, “Alien: Specimen”, was created through an initiative with 20th Century and has accumulated over 7 million views.

As a DGA commercial director, Kelsey has worked with brands like Volkswagen, Walmart, and Verizon and her work ranges from comedy to dark world building.

Southwest Airlines tapped Kelsey to direct their branded short film, “Alone In Tombstone”, a modern Western that further proved Kelsey’s ability to work in any genre. 

Drawn to stories that live in the gray and allow for shining perspectives, Kelsey's feature film, “To Kill A Wolf,” which she wrote, directed and produced, is a modern reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood told through the lens of sexual grooming. Which is our discussion for today. 

Ladies and gentlemen, TO KILL A WOLF is a powerful and emotional feature film. In a modern re-imagining of Little Red Riding Hood, a social pariah discovers a teenage runaway in the Oregon Wilderness and does his best to help her find a way home – a troubling exploration of trauma and redemption.

TO KILL A WOLF is mysteriously tense, but Kelsey Taylor handles the tough subject matter with grace. The audience will not only be engaged with the story, but learn some things in the process. The film will resonate with those who have had such experiences, and I believe the narrative will lead to a better understanding of this topic for a broader audience.
