<p>Oscar-nominated filmmaker Heidi Ewing (<i>Jesus Camp</i>, <i>Detropia</i>) joins Amy and Avi to open the drawer on <i>How to Tame a Fox</i> — her shelved script about two Soviet biologists who secretly tried to domesticate wild foxes in Siberia while Stalin was busy persecuting anyone who liked science.</p><p></p><p>Based on the true story of Lyudmila Trut and Dmitri Belyaev, this is a Cold War thriller disguised as an animal story — or an animal story disguised as a Cold War thriller, depending on how you feel about foxes that eventually sing.</p><p></p><p>Heidi wrote a full pilot during COVID, had a dream cast (Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix), and then Putin invaded Ukraine and tanked the mood for celebrating Russian scientists. Timing is everything.</p><p></p><p>We fed the script into our AI pipeline, generated a new pitch deck and trailer, and let our AI executive Finn weigh in. Heidi's verdict: still a f***ing good idea. We agree.</p><p></p><p>Some projects don't die. They just wait.</p><p></p><p>Loki Films: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://lokifilms.com" target="_blank">https://lokifilms.com</a><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://lokifilms.com/" target="_blank"><br /></a>Heidi Ewing on<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/heidiewing/" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> <br /></p><p>#FilmsNotMade #UnmadeFilms #DevelopmentHell #HowToTameAFox #HeidiEwing #LyudmilaGrut<br />#DmitriBelyaev #FoxDomestication #SiberianFoxExperiment #FilmPodcast #IndieFilm #DocumentaryFilm #Screenwriting <br />#PeriodDrama #FilmDevelopment #WarOnScience<br />#SovietHistory #ColdWarDrama #StalinistRussia #MagicalRealism #DomesticationScience #AIFilmmaking #Cinephile #FilmPodcast <br /></p>
