Doug Bari's 2013 cult oddity *Faux Paws* follows two rebellious gay werewolves fleeing a reservation in search of acceptance in Maine, the only state that legally tolerates lycanthropes. Their cross-country odyssey crackles with dark humor and offbeat charm as a family member secretly collaborates with bounty hunters and authorities to drag them back.

Bari's indie vision and Brian Wimer's lead performance anchor a cast that balances snark with sincerity, crafting a film that's as much about self-discovery as it is about dodging silver bullets.
