Hollywood, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/07/2016 -- Riding Hood Motion Pictures has released the haunting first look teaser trailer of the noir crime thriller, "Wolf Mother." The cross genre film, which is written and directed by Erik Peter Carlson ("Transatlantic Coffee", "The Toy Soldiers") stars Najarra Townsend ("Contracted"), New York stage actor, Kevin Pinassi, and star of David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" revival, Tom Sizemore ("Heat", "Saving Private Ryan").

"In an attempt to rectify their criminal past, a once successful Hollywood starlet, turn prostitute, and a petty thief, set out together to solve a high profile child abduction case in San Francisco."

The 1 minute teaser reveals the first glimpses of our heroes, Townsend and Pinassi as they mastermind a scheme to find the celebrity child star, Kaitlin Miller, played by newcomer, Kaegan Baron. The teaser explores the dark sequences of horror and suspense of their journey, as well as the Mansonesque clan behind the kidnapping in the captivating opening moments.

"I'm drawn to stories that in someway are connected to the current state of mind. Stories that are happening now, in our own backyard. Most of the time for me, they just happen to be the darker stories", says Erik Peter Carlson, writer/director of "Wolf Mother."

From the little that is revealed in the gripping teaser, Carlson, like his previous work, seems not to shy away from the shock.

"Wolf Mother" has invited their fans to get involved by joining them on social media as they countdown to the release of the thriller's release this summer as well as a forthcoming full-length trailer. "Wolf Mother is one hell of a ride through personal hardships, as we experience our antiheroes attempting to regain some composure of their moral compass." says Carlson.

"Wolf Mother" is the third feature film from writer/director, Erik Peter Carlson and Riding Hood Motion Pictures, which produced the teen drama, "The Toy Soldiers", which was released by AMC Theaters in 2014.

Also showcased in the teaser are many faces horror fans will recognize, including, Maria Olsen, Dave Vescio and Douglas Bennett.

The eerily topical teen movie which has been getting tremendous attention from industry, goes to crowd sourcing with some incredible rewards for contributors.

Hollywood, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/24/2013 -- Hollywood, CA: Riding Hood Motion Pictures is proud to announce that pre-production has begun on their newest picture, The Toy Soldiers, from the award winning writer and director, Erik Peter Carlson. "On one evening in a decade of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, the innocence of youth and family unravels," says Carlson.

Even though the fictitious film takes place in the 80's, the themes are surprisingly familiar and current. One can't help to notice parallels between the narrative and real life tragedies such as the story of Rehtaeh Parsons, the bullied Canadian teenager, or the horror of Sandy Hook Elementary. "This stuff pains me. I think about it every day," Carlson explains.

Even with the film funded, the producers are reaching out to their massively loyal fan base for additional contributions with the crowd funding web site, Kickstarter. "Our goal is extremely modest at $6,500. This may not sound like a lot, but on a small indie film, this can make a huge difference. It will allow additional shooting days, studio rentals and on and on. I feel there will be people out there who will want to be a part of this movie because they feel as passionate about its subject matter as I do," he says.

Contributors to the 'The Toy Soldiers' Kickstarter campaign will be offered some exciting rewards from signed scripts and posters to an opportunity to be in the film itself.

The film will be shot on location in southern California this summer. Some amazing Hollywood talents have already been attached to the film, including Constance Brenneman (Love and Other Drugs), Kevin Pinassi (from Carlson's last film, Transatlantic Coffee) and an exciting, fresh talent, Megan Hensley.
