A FEATURE FILM
COLD BLOWS THE WIND
Written & Directed by Jared Horst
THREE TIMES. ONE STORY.
The Story
Across a century, a legend of the sea moves through the lives of those who tell it, write it, and finally discover themselves inside it.
Part myth, part memory, and part journey, Cold Blows the Wind unfolds between the old world and the present day—where stories passed from one generation to another have a way of refusing to stay on the page.
II
The Legend
A story carried across the water.
THE CURSE
“And the beguiler is beguiled. Every coin has two faces. Every bird has its song, and every Mermaid her sailor. And so she followed Jack into the storm…”
THOMAS
IV
The Mermaid
Mira
Her story is still being cast.
THE SAILOR
Jack
Every Mermaid her sailor.
Not everything that calls you from the sea wants to be found.
THE BOAT
Esperanto
Some vessels carry more than people.
Commissioned by Thomas in Thailand in 1982, when he was working offshore oil rigs and had money to burn—and, before long, more wives than he knew what to do with.
VII
The Storytellers
