What originally attracted you to Bennett’s Song?
My partner wrote the script and the it is absolutely fantastic. It’s a really current story about what it feels like to look and be different. To have a different family, different circumstances and still finds ways to be relatable. It is just about the difficulties to be a family now period. I was so scared, I have done thrillers, action and that style of film,...

Trevor Juenger's surreal horror Coyote now has a short video clip for fans. This title was recently shown at the Pollygrind Film Festival. And, the film central stars horror vet' Bill Oberst Jr. (Children of Sorrow), along with Joe Hammerstone (Tales of Fear) and Victoria Mullen. This title might be coming to a theatre near you. And, fans of arthouse in cinema can view the expressionistic clip below. The film involves a paranoid writer, whose insomnia leads him to violence and self-destruction. This is Juenger's first feature film and it is already receiving praise from websites. Greg Baty at Cinesploitation enjoyed the "nightmarish imagery," while Mike Thomas at Matchflick felt lost in the story: "It is a film that you don't understand, rather you hold on, or get lost forever." Some of those bizarre visuals and strange story details can be found in the clip below. Release Date: Tba.

I saw Coyote last month when it played at midnight at the Mx Theater in downtown St. Louis and found it to be a dark and disturbing home-grown chiller. There’s another screening this Friday night (June 14th), also at the Mx, but it starts at 11pm instead of midnight. This time there will be short films from James Westbrook, Dylan Schnitker, and Carrie Juenger (hers is called Crabs In The Dollhouse) and Daniel Irwin will be there to read some “weird and hilarious” poetry.
Also, the filmmakers will be participating in a Q&A session after the credits so if you’re curious about what the heck you just saw, here’s your chance.
Check it out at the new luxury theatre Mx Movies in downtown St. Louis (618 Washington Ave St Louis, Mo 63101). The screening is at 11:00pm and is Free! It’s a neat theater and since it’s free,...

I’ve been looking for an excuse to check out the new Mx Movie Theater in downtown St. Louis and now I think I’ve found it.
Coyote, the St. Louis-lensed shocker from Writer/Director Trevor Juenger will be making its hometown debut this Friday night, April 26th, at the new luxury theatre Mx Movies in downtown St. Louis (618 Washington Ave St Louis, Mo 63101). The screening is at 11:30pm and is Free!
Coyote, an “art-horror feature” tells of a writer (Bill Oberst Jr) whose insomnia causes him to suffer hallucinations. He’s distracted, irritated and slowly going mad. He’s soon taking it out on the people around him, and he’s not afraid to take violent measures. Bill Oberst played Honest Abe in Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies which was actually better than the Spielberg film! Joe Hammerstone, Bill Finkbiner, Tasha Zebrowski, and Victoria Mullen round out the cast.

Coyote is an indie horror title from director Trevor Juenger. In the film, the character Bill (Bill Oberst Jr.) descends into madness. Bill acts strangely and he voices his inner turmoil and false beliefs because of mental illness. Very surreal, Coyote is an arthouse pic' that will entertain fans of the darkly bizarre. In the film's first trailer, Bill seems to rant and rave as he interacts with a handful of other characters. One girl deliciously sucks on Bill's thumb? Another character wants to hear Bill, a writer, tell a macabre story. Juenger's style of filmmaking and creation of characters really brings out the darker parts of cinema in this early reel. Have a look below. Director/writer: Trevor Juenger. Cast: Bill Oberst Jr., Joe Hammerstone, Victoria Mullen, Bill Finkbiner, Shawn I. Chevalier and Heather Schlitt. The trailer for Coyote is here: The film's fan page is here: Coyote on Facebook | | Advertise Here -.

There have always been two things we can count on…death and taxes. We'd like to petition adding "Bill Oberst, Jr., will be creepy in his next film" to that list. Oberst delivers big time every time out, and his new film, Coyote, is no different.
Dig the trailer, stills and one sheet below!
Directed by Trevor Juenger and starring Oberst, Jr., along with Bill Finkbiner, Victoria Mullen and Tasha Zebrowski, Coyote is an art-house horror film that looks very intriguing. For some insight into the film, check out the Coyote Production Blog website.
