FFFA: Wolf Cat Fever

Wolf Cat Fever

Australian Premiere

“The Lobotomised Tim Burton.”  – Screen Edge on director Josh ‘Sinbad’ Collins

Wolf Cat Fever is an undeniable Australian original: a hyper-real, hand-built rock ‘n’ roll spectacular. Music video DP Alexander Orlando Smith (Kylie, Iggy Pop, The Darkness) uses a retrofitted Alexa with vintage lenses to draw aesthetic inspiration from early musical comedy and Mario Bava’s lurid Italian genre cinema.

Furr Fever is the wild, fuzzed-up guitar-slinger of The Sextortions, a rockabilly band as deranged as they are irresistible. When Furr crosses paths with the howling, leather-clad Wolfy Howl, the two lost souls collide in a blaze of glitter and guitars in overdrive. But scheming music moguls, a corrupt Trump-ish mayor and a backstabbing bandmate are all gunning to tame them. Fortunately, the ghost of The King lives in Furr’s gold guitar, and rock and roll cannot be caged.

With Josh ‘Sinbad’ Collins and renowned costume designer Babzotica crafting every set, costume and prop from recycled and salvaged materials, Wolf Cat Fever is a must-see for aficionados of schlock and devotees of distorted guitars.
