On this podcast: we present Producer-Actor Mark Redfield and Writer-Director Tom Brandau (1960-2021) discussing the making of their first indie feature film COLD HARBOR.
THE STORY
When an old man ends his life by throwing himself into the icy winter surf near his seaside home, his four estranged sons are left to deal with their memories, feelings of loss and betrayal, and unsettling family issues. As they pick through and pack up his belongings, they discover the missing puzzle pieces of their own lives, gradually recognizing themselves and each other in the remnants of their father's life.
Starring Mark Redfield (The Death Of Poe, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,Dark and Stormy Night, The Fall of the House of Usher- Netflix ) COLD HARBOR is a tough, touching drama full of gritty, honest moments and dark, humorous situations. Writer-director Tom Brandau draws upon real-life events to craft this award winning film about loss and family mythology and, ultimately, about burying the dead and getting on with life.
