Bae | Wolf
is a 2022 indie film that provides a subversive, queer retelling of the Old English epic poem Beowulf . Directed by David Axe, this darkly comical fantasy reimagines the legendary hero as a woman and injects the story with modern dialogue and inclusive themes. Core Storyline
The film intentionally flips the gender of several characters; for instance, the legend claims Beowulf was male simply because people assumed "you need balls to hold a sword".
It maintains a "schlocky" and satirical tone, contrasting historical settings with very contemporary attitudes and speech. Where to Watch
It was shot over 10 days in South Carolina on an estimated budget of $37,000. Reviewers often compare its visual style to a high-end Live-Action Role-Playing (LARP) event.
