TRAILER
synopsis
A psychological thriller about a state park ranger husband and his wife struggling to come to terms with their missing teenage son while dealing with a local mystery that questions their relationship and in the end, their grip on reality.
Written years before its filming in summer 2023 by Jeff Wolfe, Erik Audé, and Lance Ochsner, Mourning Rock is directed by Jeff Wolfe and produced by him and his wife Jennifer. Billy plays the lead role and also serves as an executive producer.
Despite the writers and actors’ strike, the making of the movie was made possible because Wolfepride Productions was granted an interim agreement from SAG with their blessing, “to remind the AMPTP that making a movie can be more about creativity and less about stuffing pockets,” as Wolfe stated himself in an Instagram post.
During his interview with actress Alyshia Ochse for her That One Audition podcast (she plays his wife in the movie), Billy confessed he’s not into zombie movies but was happy to join his friend Jeff in this project as there was so much more to explore, especially the way people dal with grief. That is how he ended up working on drafts with Jeff and getting more and more involved in the story (for those who don’t remember it, Wolfe was Revolution stunt coordinator, the man choreographing those amazing fight scenes and creating the weapons used on the show).

reviews
Doing what you love is made even better when you get to do it with talented friends!!! A La Billy Burke, Raoul Trujillo, and Taylor Handley!! Hell Yeah!– Jeff Wolfe, director, Instagram
Truly the best of the best on every level of this film. Getting to produce and direct a film I co-wrote years ago, alongside my amazing wife, with some of the most talented friends I know… and being granted an interim agreement from SAG with their blessing to remind the AMPTP that making a movie can be more about creativity and less about stuffing pockets… it’s a win win. Here’s to the first feature of many, done the right way. As a creative family.
