Howl Coyote Howl is a captivating Modern Spaghetti Western that takes audiences on a compelling journey of human perseverance through the rugged deserts of California and what it means to cross the border into Mexico using unconventional methods.

“I wanted to bring Westerns into modern times by honoring and breaking the tropes of the genre. Telling this story of a woman on the run from an ex-partner is the perfect way to show what a Western is capable of. I wanted people to enjoy themselves as they watch a story of human perseverance. The style of the spaghetti western genre is often an homage but is rarely utilized the way it was originally intended by filmmakers like Sergio Leone and Sergio Sollima, as a harsh look at American life and the rejection of fascist ideals and the power of the individual.”
