Director Statement
Bury in Winter was born through Jack being drawn to an intriguing true tale from the 1940s and wanting to bring this riveting period to life through film. This was a passion project and challenge to pull together but savvy thinking and having a brilliant and supportive crew helped us to create a very low budget period drama.
