Coldwater

Two years later, Vincent Grashaw, the producer, lead actor and editor of ?Bellflower?, makes his first directorial attempt with ?Coldwater?, a dynamite thriller that will keep you nailed to your seat with delirious outbreaks of violence that often lead to lyrical imagery of disaster.

After Evan Glodell’s post-apocalyptic manifesto “Bellflower” screened at Opening Nights in 2011, everyone held their breath about what the talented group of young filmmakers responsible for one of the most explosive debuts in recent American independent cinema history would do next.

Two years later, Vincent Grashaw, the producer, lead actor and editor of “Bellflower”, makes his first directorial attempt with “Coldwater”, a dynamite thriller that will keep you nailed to your seat with delirious outbreaks of violence that often lead to lyrical imagery of disaster.

In the film, teenage Brad’s involvement with drug dealing and petty theft forces his mother to send him to a rather unusual juvenile reform facility that functions pretty much like a military camp. The director, Colonel Reichert, is an ex-marine who welcomes inmates with some of the most brutal rehabilitation tactics known to man. It won’t take long for the boys to realize they are held in a cruel concentration camp, a rural purgatory where no one comes out unscathed. K.Th.
