Bracing for the confines of an unwanted marriage, a young huntress seeks one last day of freedom. But when her best friend, Aidan, intrudes on a moment of vulnerability, the line between love and possession begins to blur.
As the hours slip by, Diana sets out after her final prey, accompanied by Aidan. Only when she finds herself caught in one of his traps does she realize the extent of his betrayal, sparking a brutal fight for survival.
Ancient cultures once understood creation, authority, and the natural world as aspects of feminine power, and their stories of female deities reflected these values. Yet today, women’s autonomy over their bodies and fates is constantly undermined and challenged.
Inspired by the myths surrounding Artemis, a goddess defined by her demand for independence, Fifty Hounds explores what has been lost in the modern understanding of female power.
Led by a predominantly female team, we are crafting a visceral and emotionally honest story about the constraints men place on women—a story that will resonate deeply with many and illuminate the ongoing fight for autonomy for others.
Stories have the power to broaden perspectives and challenge the systems that shape our world. By weaving together myth and film, we reimagine ancient narratives surrounding the inherent powers of womanhood, using them as a lens to spark conversation about female autonomy—over one’s body and one’s future.
Diana is a wild woman. A liberated goddess. One of few allowed to reign without the presence of a man.
Fifty Hounds was born from the myth of Actaeon and his Fifty Hounds, which depicts the sanctity surrounding the immortal, unattainable Diana and the power one encounters with a wild woman. The story prompted me to ask:
What is the cost of feminine freedom?
In a reality where those in power, under the guise of protection, force women back into cages they believed were long broken, this film becomes a warning…a spark. I am telling it now because the past is not past, and the myths we think we have outgrown are still being lived.
