Fun teens-in-the-woods slasher film vibes on one hand, a monster movie on the other, what I wasn’t expecting was the emotional punch as the film’s characters dealt with grief, fears and anxieties with more complexity than such films commonly afford. Writer/director Dionne Copland and producer/editor/cinematographer Louise Weard kindly took the time to speak to us about their film.

COLD WIND BLOWING – Review by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

2020 was a cruel year for film’s planning to release during the pandemic, and even crueler for low-budget indies that had just started what is an already challenging journey in gaining visibility in a market where the bigger named and bigger funded projects will always be a default setting for the limelight. Dionne Copland’s Cold Wind Blowing is a case in point; initially getting positive response from one of the biggest indie fests in the US, the unparalleled shake up the film industry faced in 2020 saw this film almost fall off the radar.
