We are very excited to finally release the official poster for Moon Rabbit Media’s Pine Grove Vixen directed by Seth F. Johnson. Hundreds of hours went into designing this poster and we could not be more pleased with how it turned out!

After it was all finished we surprised our Executive Producers Randy and Shannon Bocook as well as lead actress Merrik Foune with a steel print from Art Beat Studios of the poster to hang in their home!

A huge thank you to Justin Kamstra whose amazing unit stills are featured on the poster, we could not have done it without you dude!

The poster features Merrik Foune as the Forest Vixen, David Kallaway as Russell Dubios, and Frank Monteleone as Trip Wallace.

Pine Grove Vixen is an upcoming prequel short to Moon Rabbit Media’s feature film In The Pines which is currently seeking financing.

Here are several promo stills from Moon Rabbit Media’s upcoming short film Pine Grove Vixen.

Pine Grove Vixen, directed by Seth F. Johnson, is a prequel short to Moon Rabbit Media’s supernatural thriller In the Pines and sets the backstory of the feature into motion. Russell Dubois (David Kallaway), an avid bowhunter, is following a blood trail deep into the pine groves of south Georgia when he encounters a tracker and fellow bowhunter Trip Wallace (Frank Monteleone). Trip, a peculiar man, has been accidentally tracking Russell and the prey Russell has just shot. To Russell’s annoyance, Trip inserts himself into the situation and offers to help him. As the two men move through the woods, a series of mysterious things happen and the weather worsens. Caught in the rain and now losing light, Trip becomes nervous about his new hunting partner and what Russell may have been doing before they met. Just as night is about to fall, the men discover a foxhole at the base of a giant pine tree where they are forced to set up camp. The men deal with the miserable situation by drinking their way through several flasks of whiskey and the relationship between them improves. They start throwing a hatchet at the giant tree to scare the fox out, but this only makes their situation worse, when the Forest Vixen (Merrik Foune) decides to make her presence known and it quickly becomes apparent that she is the one doing the hunting.

Back in June Moon Rabbit Media had the opportunity to shoot Pine Grove Vixen which is a direct prequel short for our feature film titled In The Pines and lays the foundation of that narrative.

Pine Grove Vixen is about two bowhunters who follow a blood trail deep into the pine forests of south Georgia and encounter a force out of their control, only to discover the prey they’re tracking might not be the only thing being hunted.

We are currently in post-production on this short film and are very excited for its release. This short will serve as a direct visual representation of the feature and is a fantastic way to showcase our vision.

Here are several promo stills from Moon Rabbit Media’s upcoming short film Pine Grove Vixen.

Here’s the first official poster for Soldier’s Heart (2019) Moon Rabbit Media’s upcoming short film about Post traumatic stress disorder set in the post-Civil War south.

The film stars Thomas Clay Strickland, Merrik Foune, Sheril Rodgers, Victoria Fraunberger, and Jared M. Reeder. The film is directed Seth F. Johnson, produced by Emily Croke & Michael Anthony Brown, and was written by Karin Johnson, Darby Abraham.

When creating this poster we took inspiration from still photographer Kimberly French’s work on The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Having always been very fond of the unit stills from that film, we took direct influence from its key art and poster.
