The Werewolf in the Waves

Love is the anchor. Addiction is the tide.

From award winning Director Soleil Moon Frye (childhood actress “Punky Brewster”), this is a deeply personal and poignant film that explores the complicated dynamics of love and addiction. Told through Moon Frye’s empathetic lens, we follow her reunion with childhood friend, Seth Binzer (aka Shifty Shellshock) of the band Crazy Town, largely known for their hit 1999 song “Butterfly”. She documents Crazy Town’s comeback tour, during which time the connection between them quickly evolves into a love story playing out over euphoric and dream-like imagery. However, the narrative takes a heartbreaking turn when Seth relapses into drugs and the film becomes about the destructive forces of addiction.
