The Wild Hunt (Contemporary Medieval Thriller / Completed)

Winner, Best Canadian First Feature Film at Toronto International Film Festival 2009

In a dark forest a battle rages between the power-hungry Celts, the rampaging Vikings, the secretive wood elves and a mysterious shaman. But in the heat of battle, disaster strikes... someone breaks character, the one unforgivable transgression in this elaborate game of make believe.

Looking for his girlfriend, ERIK (Ricky Mabe) enters this live action role playing game but his refusal to play by its rules sets fantasy and reality on a deadly collision course.

The thrilling, keenly authentic debut feature by Alexandre Franchi, THE WILD HUNT captures the all consuming, immersive culture of costume play, its seductive lure of adopting another identity, and the modern yearning for ritual.
