Frozen River Wins Top Prize at Sundance

Indie U.S. film Frozen River picked up the Grand Jury Prize for drama at the Sundance Film Festival this month. According to the BBC, jury member Quentin Tarantino said the film, written and directed by Courtney Hunt, "was one of the most exciting thrillers I am going to see this year."

The film features music by Winnipeg's own Keri Latimer, of Juno-nominated roots quartet Nathan. Latimer was in Utah for a portion of Sundance.
