Geekscape 478: Talking With ‘Wildling’ Filmmaker Fritz Böhm!

by Jonathan

Fritz Böhm’s film ‘Wildling’ is a supernatual fairy tale coming of age story that I was immediately hooked on from the opening moments. Starring Liv Tyler, Brad Dourif and Bel Powley, the film isn’t necessarily a horror movie or a werewolf movie as much as it’s something new entirely (with some very cool familiar elements). In this episode, Fritz and I talk about playing between the familiar and the fresh and the origins of the film’s story. We also talk about the challenges of bringing the film to life over several years and filming the rural story in one of the most populated places on the planet! As much as I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed Fritz and I’s conversation even more and hope you do as well! Support indie film!
