Stefan Ruf’s latest film, Coyote Woman, promises a raw and intense take on the Western genre, drawing characters directly from Cormac McCarthy’s epic historical novel Blood Meridian. This blood-soaked journey into the American frontier will see the notorious scalp hunters Judge Holden and J.J. Glanton brought to life on screen for the first time. With its gritty aesthetic and powerful performances, Coyote Woman is poised to make a significant impact.

Influenced by controversial American Western Soldier Blue and Spaghetti Westerns such as Navajo Joe, Apache Woman, and Scalps, Ruf has crafted a film that blends the brutal realism of historical events with the stylized violence of grindhouse cinema. The screenplay, co-written by Ruf and John Herndon, weaves a tale of vengeance and survival against the harsh backdrop of the Wild West.

At the heart of Coyote Woman is its unique score, composed and performed by Ruf himself.
