An Interview with Red Riding Hood’s VFX Supervisor Jeffrey A. Okun

Below the Line: "Visual effects supervisor Jeffrey A. Okun has been creating outstanding effects for films over the past two decades with a further 10 years working in various capacities in movies. His credits as supervisor range from early work with directors Renny Harlin and Roland Emmerich, to more recent films with Edward Zwick. Over a year ago, Okun was contacted to work on a new version of the classic fairy tale Red Riding Hood with director Catherine Hardwicke who had helmed the first of the Twilight films. Set in a medieval village haunted by a werewolf, the story involves a young girl, played by Amanda Seyfried, who falls for an orphaned woodcutter. To date, the identity of the wolf has been kept a tight secret.
