Pacific Arts Movement is proud to co-present the San Diego theatrical premiere of "To Kill a Wolf," directed and written by Kelsey Taylor and produced by Reel Voices alum Adam Lee, who also served as the film’s cinematographer. The film will screen August 22 through 28, 2025 at Regal Edwards Mira Mesa. Set against the eerie stillness of the Oregon wilderness, "To Kill a Wolf " is a modern reframing of "Little Red Riding Hood," trading fantasy for something far more disquieting and human. With haunting visual precision and a quiet emotional pulse, the film explores the fragile nature of trust, the lingering ache of trauma, and the unexpected paths toward redemption. Special post-screening Q&As featuring both Taylor and Lee will take place at the 4 p.m. screenings on Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24. Saturday’s conversation will be moderated by Pac Arts Founder Lee Ann Kim, and Sunday’s will be moderated by Executive Director Alex Villafuerte. Q&A screenings can be reserved here Runtime: 1h 32m (92 min) About Pacific Arts Movement Pacific Arts Movement (Pac Arts) is one of the largest media arts organizations dedicated to celebrating Asian and Asian American stories through film, media, and education.
