ABOUT THE FEATURE FILM ‘THE FOX’
The dark satire follows Nick (Courtney), a vain heir to a vineyard dynasty who upon discovering his fiancé (Clark) is cheating on him, decides he wants nothing more than to avoid embarrassment and get the issue resolved.
In his desperation, he follows the advice of a rogue fox, who promises that his doomed relationship will be fixed if he pushes his loved one into a magic hole that has the power to transform flawed people into perfect partners.
The woman who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted, until her strange new quirks lead him to question his decision.
