I did this short a few years ago, partially because we had finally gotten an HD Camera and I wanted to do something relatively simple to test it out. Since then we used that camera on half a dozen features and now shoot on something much more sophisticated. I also wanted to give my friend, Joel D. Wynkoop, a role he could sink his teeth into a bit more. Joel had done quite a bit of acting for me before this, but the movies were always a bit tongue in cheek and he and I played the humor a bit over the top and self aware. I knew he could do more dramatic stuff and had done it with other people. I figured it was time I wrote a more serious role for him.
What brought this movie back to the surface for me is the short story I listed a paragraph from below. The werewolf, the isolation, the father-child dynamic all come into play in "Shelter", although they play out very differently.
So, enjoy, for your viewing pleasure, "Shelter", starring Joel D. Wynkoop and Nicola Fiore.
