Cold Fronts

Co-directed by Janhavi Parekh and Freddy Bendekgey

Margaret was born in 1938 to a family of eight in a beautiful, white-framed farmhouse. Thinking back on her earliest childhood memories, she fondly remembers her brother Robert. Robert left behind life on the farm to pave his own path and enlisted in WWII. What followed was a difficult time for their family, marked by grief.

Cold Fronts is a 2D 3D, found audio short film. It includes an early chapter from Margaret's long and storied life in which she honors the memory of her lost brother. "Cold Fronts" includes clips from three hours of interviews with Margaret, animated in the style of a "pop up book" to capture her bittersweet memories through the eyes of a child.
