Airdate: August 25th, 2023

Filmmakers Sugey Cruz and Greg Poppa joined forces to form Foxy Phoenix Productions, which is a film company aimed at creating compelling and impactful films that captivate audiences and inspire meaningful conversations. Their most recent film Cold is a heart-wrenchingly, tragic tale of Carmen, a grieving mother who wakes up in a strange house with only a vague note from her guide, Samuel to direct her next 1000 days. Carmen, portrayed by Sugey Cruz, wakes up in a world she doesn’t recognize and is given the task of fixing her vehicle or spend eternity in purgatory.
