Norfolk psychological thriller explores online vigilantism

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 09:32 · Archive

Sheepskin Wolf, a psychological thriller filmed in Norfolk, examines online vigilantism, child abuse and social media.

Sheepskin Wolf, a psychological thriller filmed entirely in Norfolk, delves into the dark world of online vigilantism, child abuse and the power of social media. The film follows a story moving between 2026 and 2006, examining social media, public accusations and what can happen when people decide who should be punished. Scenes have been shot in Norwich, Lakenham, Watton and Griston.

Kaitlyn Boxall, a writer, producer and director, has self-funded the film. It is her second feature film; her debut, Remember Us, was released on Amazon Prime Video in 2024. Boxall said: 'The entire film was shot in Norfolk, and I believe that is something the county can be proud of.' She added: 'The Norfolk community have been very welcoming of this independent production being made.'

The film is intended as an uncomfortable watch and asks audiences to consider how online reactions can affect the lives of people involved in accusations and public exposure. A teaser trailer is available online, with the full-length trailer due in December. The film is planned for release in 2027, beginning with submissions to film festivals before a move towards wider streaming distribution.
