At the start of Cold Blows the Wind, Dean and Tasha look in the trunk of their car and are surprised to find a badly injured man.

The SAG-AFTRA strike has studios questioning release schedules, film festivals wondering who will show up, and indie filmmakers interrogating their own projects to understand what’s possible and what’s out of reach. For some, it means opportunity while others need to make tough choices.

Actor and producer Victoria Vertuga’s indie horror feature, “Cold Blows the Wind,” was accepted at the Days of the Dead Film Festival, which runs in Los Angeles August 25-27. When SAG called the strike, she sought clarity about what she could and couldn’t do for her film.

Just as other indie filmmakers can sign interim agreements to continue production on independent films with no ties to AMPTP members, she obtained her own interim agreement that allows actors to continue promoting work that doesn’t involve any struck company. Vertuga’s Blame the Dog Prods. produced “Cold Blows the Wind,” which she made...

Starting with her friend Mel (Felisha Michelle Cacho; Treason) filing a missing persons report, director Victoria Vertuga and co-writer Eric Williford examine the last six months of her life looking for clues to what might have happened. We get a...
