Back in Portland after deciding to momentarily abandon his forensic science studies in Chicago, Doug (Cris Lankenau; QUIET CITY) takes up residence with his slightly more stable sister, Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn; UNITED 93). Lacking the ambition to pursue his dreams at the moment, Doug takes what promises to be a temporary job working the nightshift at an ice factory. Soon, co-worker/DJ/Star Trek enthusiast Carlos (Raul Castillo; PARAISO TRAVEL) takes an interest in Doug’s ex-girlfriend, which doesn’t bother Doug in the least. But when she doesn’t show up to one of Carlos’ DJ gigs, Doug and his compatriots are thrust into the middle of a mystery filled with cowboy photographers, code breaking, and a missing briefcase full of cash.
Thoughtfully paced with a mellow attitude, COLD WEATHER’s tone is distinctly Portland. Director Aaron Katz (QUIET CITY) centers the somewhat detached detective story around the brother/sister relationship, giving the film a resonant core that elevates it above your average PI fare. —Chris Claxton

Local sports radio talk show DJ Johnny Rizzo (Matt Bush) promises his fiance Claire that by the time he turns 25 years old, he’ll give up his dream of becoming a sportscaster and settle for a job that pays bigger bucks. Now, he’s flying to New York for a job interview that Claire’s father helped set up and will secure his future. However, upon arriving in New York, he catches up with Uncle Terry (Edward Burns), a womanizing bartender who is bent on turning a harmless day in the Hamptons into a farewell party for Johnny’s bachelorhood. Johnny wants no part in his uncle’s plans until he meets the enchanting Brooke. Written, directed by, and co-starring Edward Burns, NICE GUY JOHNNY illustrates the constant negotiation between growing up and the price of our dreams. —Bryant Murakami
