"Everyone from Team Stomping Ground is thrilled to finally get to unleash our film into the world," states Riesser. "Every member of the cast and crew worked really hard bringing it to life. We hope folks enjoy our different sort of Bigfoot creature feature."
Stomping Ground cast and crew members - including Riesser and Tilly - will celebrate the film's release with a signing at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, CA on March 8th at 7 pm. The cast and crew will also be in attendance for a special screening of the film at Laemmle's Playhouse 7 in Pasadena, CA on March 10th at 7:30 pm.

At the local bar, they run into Paul, a charming old friend of Annie’s, and Ben learns something he never knew about his girlfriend: She believes in Bigfoot. In fact, she and her friends used to “hunt” for the creature when they were kids. Before Ben knows it, he’s off on an impromptu Squatchin’ trip deep in the Carolina backwoods. Amidst the Squatch calls, campfire stories, and beers, Ben quickly realizes that Paul may have an ulterior motive in bringing Annie to the woods. And something else out here seems to be after her as well. Everyone but Ben thinks it's Bigfoot. But it can’t be, can it? After all, Bigfoot isn’t real."

Wolf Mother: Press Release: "Studio City, Calif., March 4, 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 some way 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.
