But that idea, I just became absolutely obsessed by that idea of reconnecting with a reunion. And with all reunions, whether it’s with your past or with people or whatever that is, you get to re-understand yourself. And there was something about that that I found a really fascinating idea."A Long Winter being shot by Andre Turpin, while Jonathan Alberts is the editor and Emmanuel Frechette is the production designers.
