SUPERNAULT
 

The Hollywood Reporter has the Exclusive look at the trailer for Cold Road.

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. 

Cold Road was shot in Canada’s remote Northwest Territories and is financed by Telefilm Canada and Bell Media. Redvers wrote and directed the indie, while also producing alongside Matt Watterworth and Gianna Isabella, with Scott Lepp and Mark Miller executive producing...

From early childhood as a member of the Whitefish Lake Atikameg First Nation in Treaty 8 territory, Roseanne Supernault has held the medicinal impact of story as a deep, core belief; one that guides and strengthens her in both life and art. In honoring her own storytellers, wisdom keepers, mentors and teachers she gratefully acknowledges the shoulders she stands upon and is coming to understand her role in providing the same for those who are following her lead.  On the heels of starring in a terrifying new thriller, Cold Road, and beginning the post production process on her first feature film, Dusk & Dawn, as writer, director and producer, Rose continues to navigate her creative adventure with courage and compassion.

Poulette’s decision to pick Roseanne Supernault for the lead role of Maina was the best choice he could have made. “It was pretty easy to direct Roseanne Supernault, and she had the whole movie on her shoulders, and she succeeded with grace. In fact, after a while I started calling her ‘Miss Emotions’ because after few seconds of discussion she was nailing down the scene.
