More about Urban Wolf
Filmed entirely on location in Paris, France, “Urban Wolf” stars Vincent Sze (a noted actor from the Hong Kong cinema scene) as Justin Case, a former MIT student who travels to Paris for a job interview. Walking the streets of the city, he begins to notice the numerous surveillance cameras that seemingly follow his every movement. What begins as a simple case of paranoia quickly escalates to full-blown fear as the sinister forces behind the cameras and technology emerge to relentlessly pursue the innocent American, testing his survival instincts. “Urban Wolf” was named Best Drama in the web series category of the 2009 Independent Television (ITV) Festival, and was also an official selection of the 2009 American Film Institute DigiFest and 2010 Sundance Film Festival New Media Workshop. “Urban Wolf” is written, produced and directed by Laurent Touil Tartour. The music is by Thierry Caroubi. The series is produced by Napoleon Premiere.
