Cold Snap
Short Film (Full Length) – 2013
A well structured, beautifully shot narrative… It leaves the audience contemplating life, death and pain – and how confusing such things can be for a child dealing with death every day.– Director Andrew Adamson (Shrek), announcing the film's selection for the ‘New Zealand’s Best’ section of the 2014 NZ International Film Festival
With Cold Snap, I wanted to show a boy piecing the world together, through the lens of his simple philosophy on life and death.– Director Leo Woodhead
