How to Tame a Fox: Still a F***ing Good Idea

Описание

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp, Detropia) joins Amy and Avi to open the drawer on How to Tame a Fox — her shelved script about two Soviet biologists who secretly tried to domesticate wild foxes in Siberia while Stalin was busy persecuting anyone who liked science.Based on the true story of Lyudmila Trut and Dmitri Belyaev, this is a Cold War thriller disguised as an animal story — or an animal story disguised as a Cold War thriller, depending on how you feel about foxes that eventually sing.Heidi wrote a full pilot during COVID, had a dream cast (Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix), and then Putin invaded Ukraine and tanked the mood for celebrating Russian scientists. Timing is everything.We fed the script into our AI pipeline, generated a new pitch deck and trailer, and let our AI executive Finn weigh in. Heidi's verdict: still a f***ing good idea. We agree.Some projects don't die. They just wait.Loki Films: https://lokifilms.comHeidi Ewing on Instagram #FilmsNotMade #UnmadeFilms #DevelopmentHell #HowToTameAFox #HeidiEwing #LyudmilaGrut#DmitriBelyaev #FoxDomestication #SiberianFoxExperiment #FilmPodcast #IndieFilm #DocumentaryFilm #Screenwriting #PeriodDrama #FilmDevelopment #WarOnScience#SovietHistory #ColdWarDrama #StalinistRussia #MagicalRealism #DomesticationScience #AIFilmmaking #Cinephile #FilmPodcast
