Principal Photography has begun on Digital Guerrilla Cinema’s werewolf thriller Frenzy Moon, written, directed and produced by Gregory Lamberson, p.g.a.
Lamberson is celebrating his 40th year in independent film, with such titles as Slime City, Killer Rack and Johnny Gruesome under his belt.
As a novelist, Lamberson authored “The Frenzy Cycle” trilogy of werewolf novels: The Frenzy Way, The Frenzy War and The Frenzy Wolves. Frenzy Moon is only tangentially connected to its literary forebearers, offering its own mythology and continuity. In the film, six college students and a mysterious hunter spend a terrifying night battling a pack of werewolves in a remote cabin.
Lamberson’s team, including producer Tamar Lamberson, producer/cinematographer Chris Cosgrave, and producer/production designer Keith Lukowski, shot the film’s prologue, in which a married couple (Chad Ridgely, KateLynn E. Newberry) encounter lupine terror during a woodland excursion to photograph bears. Special make-up effects were created by John David Vincent and Mike Boas.
“This film has been a long time coming,” says Lamberson. “I wanted to shoot it after Johnny Gruesome, but Widow’s Point came along, and then the pandemic. I shot my action film Guns of Eden after that, because it could be filmed safely outdoors.”
Frenzy Moon filming continues through mid-October in Western New York. Lamberson has set up a Kickstarter to raise additional funds to see the production through filming.
