IFC Entertainment president states, “We’ve always been fans of Aaron Katz’s work but, with `Cold Weather,’ he has made a great step forward as a filmmaker. It’s great fun to see him play with the detective/mystery genre and he’s aided by a wonderful cast and fantastic creative team. This is one of the most original American independent films of the year and we can’t wait to bring it to audiences via all of our various platforms.”
