Interested actors should plan to attend the casting event at the East Bonner County Library – Community Room B, on Saturday, Aug. 20 between 10 a.m. and noon. Anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
"Burden of the Wolf" is a feature-length screenplay currently in development, which includes producing a proof of concept short to aid the fundraising pitch. Producing one selected scene from the screenplay will show style and quality goals and festival consideration.

Matlosz said the film tells what happens after a teen in a small town is killed in the forest by a wild wolf-like animal. An ambitious deputy sheriff has to navigate the misguided pursuits of her wolf-hating boss, while four4 local teens devise a plan to solve the mystery of their friend's untimely death.
