  • Poster for Zoltan the Wolfman

    Zoltan the Wolfman 2022

    Zoltan the Wolf Man follows the exciting day-to-day activities of Zoltan Horkai, renowned wild animal trainer. Animals on Zoltan’s farm just outside of Budapest, Hungary include bears, foxes, deer, wild boar, and most remarkably, wolves. These animals have been trained for TV and film productions through Zoltan’s ‘natural motivation’ training technique, which focuses on respecting the animals’ instinctive behaviours, a practice not observed in the training of domestic animals. By following Zoltan through the various commission requests he receives, the series offers an exclusive inside look into the way wild animals are trained to perform for television and film productions.
