Indigenous Thriller ‘Cold Road’ Nabbed by LevelFilm

Director Kelvin Redvers made headlines in Cannes by being initially turned away from a red carpet premiere for wearing traditional moccasins.

The debut feature comes from the Canadian filmmaker who made headlines when he was initially turned away from a red carpet screening of horrormeister David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future at the Cannes Film Festival for wearing handmade moccasins with the requisite tuxedo. Cold Road, a genre thriller from IndigiFilm Media and starring Roseanne Supernault, is set on a frozen highway in the remote Canadian North where an Indigenous woman, Tracy, and her dog, Pretzel, are hunted by a stranger in a semi truck. Redvers sees Cold Road as an antidote to Martin Scorsese ‘s Killers of the Flower Moon, which represents an Indigenous story told by an American director, feeding a debate about cultural appropriation.
