William Fitchner to Make Directorial Debut with ‘COLD BROOK’

William Fitchner will make his directorial debut with the drama COLD BROOK. 

Anamorphic Media, Trilight Entertainment and Primary Wave Entertainment will co-produce this drama that will shot this summer in Buffalo and Cortland County, New York.

Fitchner will direct and star with Kim Coates and Harold Perrineau. Fitchner also wrote the script with Cain DeVore and is described as the story of two ordinary guys in a small town who embark on a extraordinary adventure. It’s a story about coming home; something everyone, everywhere has an innate desire to do.

Fitchner will also produce with Sara Shaak, Shayne Putzlocher and Coates. Primary Wave’s David Guillod, DeVore and Sean HusVar will executive produce.

Edd Lukas will be Fitchner’s behind-the-scenes crew as his director of photography.

“When my writing partner Cain DeVore and I began work on COLD BROOK, and the story evolved over the years, the one thing that never changed was that we were writing it for me and Kim Coates. I met Coates in 2001 shooting BLACK HAWK DOWN in Morocco, and we’ve been great friends ever since.”

Shaak said:

“COLD BROOK is a special project for our entire team. The support here in Buffalo for Bill and our project has been fantastic. Bill’s a Buffalo guy, and it’s really rewarding to help him bring his vision for COLD BROOK into production in this area that means so much to him.”
