Film News: ‘Cold War’ Opens 14th Midwest Independent Film Festival on Feb. 6, 2018
CHICAGO – First Tuesdays are back in Chicago. The Midwest Independent Film Festival will kick off their 2018 (and 14th) season at 6pm on Tuesday, February 6th, with the comedy “Cold War,” directed by J. Wilder Knoschak and Stirling McLaughlin. The film will be preceded by a Producer’s Panel, which will spotlight “The Post Production Process.” For more information, including tickets purchasing, click here.
“Cold War” features Michael Blaiklock and Madeline Walker as a couple – who has just moved in together days before – hilariously coping with the not-so-romantic intimacies of caring for each other while horribly sick. Directors Knoschak and McLaughlin will attend the screening and do a Q&A after the screening, followed by an afterparty.
