“If you do have it, don’t spread it.” The first full trailer has debuted for an indie comedy called Werewolf Serenade, filmed in & around the city of Petaluma, California (same place as American Graffiti or Peggy Sue Got Married). The film is premiering in a few weeks at AVFest, and out later this year. It’s a campy, low-budget indie dramedy about a middle-aged couple navigating the humorous challenges of transforming into a werewolf. When the burnt-out college professor Peter MacTire accidentally becomes a werewolf after his colleague turns up dead, he and his concert cellist wife Julia embrace the change to thwart an evil occultist plot, save the college, and their marriage. Hopefully. Starring writer / director Daedalus Howell as Peter, with Emily Keyishian, Mark P. Robinson, Alia Beeton, Christopher Sawyer, Rapheal Gavin, and Natalie Crafts. Yet another super low budget werewolf film, lots of them these days. Not exactly expecting this to win any prizes, but it does look like some small town kooky fun. Especially if you’re into werewolves.
Here’s the festival promo trailer (+ poster) for Daedalus Howell’s Werewolf Serenade, from Vimeo:
When the Chair of the Parapsychology Department at Freestone School of the Arts turns up dead, burnt-out film professor Peter MacTire is asked to step in and complete his generously endowed research project. With the school’s fate —and his marriage — on the line, MacTire accepts, not knowing the task will bring him face-to-face with an evil occultist and transform his life forever. Howell stars as Peter in this cleverly written B-movie horror opus full of werewolf lore and double entendre. Shot at key locations throughout Petaluma, this over-the-top action comedy will have audiences cheering for its bumbling protagonist as he struggles to foil a nefarious plot. Werewolf Serenade is written & directed by American writer / filmmaker Daedalus Howell, making his second feature film after directing Pill Head previously, plus many other shorts. Produced by married filmmakers Kary Hess and Daedalus Howell. The film is premiering at AVFest this May (tickets here). Werewolf Serenade will be open offiically later in 2024.
