On the Circuit: Courtney Hunt (Frozen River)
Many of us have assumptions about those we pass on the street every day, especially those less fortunate or who belong to different cultures. Courtney Hunt’s Frozen River claimed the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival by attempting to break down audiences’ cultural assumptions through the universal language of a mother’s love. The result is a film equal parts gritty, revealing, heartbreaking, humorous, and heartwarming. Zoom In Online’s Jim Rohner spoke to Courtney Hunt recently about these topics and many more and discovering a filmmaker more concerned with what audiences take away from her film than what awards the film takes away.
