Experiencing Interruptions?

Lady Hunters

Once upon a time, three mothers killed a wolf:
Three best friends, on a moms’ weekend retreat to the Adirondacks, learn a heinous gang rapist has been released from prison nearby. Incensed by the atrocious nature of the crime against a teenaged girl, and incarceration of only one of the perpetrators, the women find themselves novice killers and arbiters of justice.

Director Statement

Lady Hunters began as a conversation between my great friend Lara Buck (co-star / co-executive producer) and I, in response to the then new news about Bill Cosby. Thanks to the PANAVISION New Filmmaker Grant and my terrific DP Lauretta Prevost (this is our fourth project together), we were able to tell a story that’s been a very long time coming, with remarkable equipment, stunning footage, and beautiful performances by a truly ensemble cast.
