Muscular Puppy, the independent film company based out of Fort Worth, Texas will distribute their feature film WHITETAIL, a southern gothic horror. The film will premiere theatrically at the famous Texas Theatre in Dallas on July 2, 2021 followed by a limited run in select theaters.

WHITETAIL follows the broken family of Donnie Mann, his father and uncle as they embark on a weekend hunting trip.

Instead, they find a mysterious man shot in the stomach and clutching onto a backpack full of money. A southern gothic thriller with flaring tempers and warped relationships, the story takes place over one day and one night in the brush land of West Texas.

The film is written and directed by Muscular Puppy Partner, Derek Presley (Red Stone, Boon) and co-produced by Alfa Whiskey Entertainment. WHITETAIL stars rising talent Dash Melrose (Ida Red, Run With The Hunted, Red Stone), Tom Zembrod (Ouija 3, From the Dark), Paul T.
