Indican Pictures Taps June 12 For The DVD Debut Of Director Tim French's Neo-Noir Thriller Intersection

Indican Pictures announced this past week that director Tim French’s award-winning neo-noir thriller, Intersection, will be making its DVD debut on June 12.

We are introduced to Cobb Mills’ (Hoyt Richards) backstory, the death of his teenage daughter in an auto accident, which serves to define his character and explain his annual pilgrimage to the remote Central Valley town of Dusty Springs (filmed in Taft, California).  Each year he returns and places a memorial wreath at the site of the accident.   

He is caught in an endless cycle of blame and grief.   It has destroyed his marriage, his life … and reduced him to a man who finds solace, courage and redemption in the nearest bar.   This year could be his last trip, maybe next year, but with his downward spiral, it is just a matter of time when this horrific event claims its final victim.

French does an excellent job of quickly setting up the character of Cobb Mills.   A man stuck in the past for reasons that make all the sense in the world to him.  

After laying the wreath, he retires to a local watering hole to drown his sorrows, but soon returns to the site of the accident for one last moment before hitting the road.   He discovers that something has changed, roses have been added to his memorial.   It is a curious thing.

Cobb soon learns that a woman by the name of “Nash” (played by Anabella Casanova) is the one who added the flowers and thanks her for her kindness and then prepares to leave, but his car won’t start.   

For mystery fans, especially with a femme fatale involved, there are two big red flags flying … the “chance” meeting with a beautiful woman, followed suddenly by being stranded in a small town.   What are the odds?

Intersection turns into a devilishly-good neo-noir thriller as Cobb has to wait three days for his car to be fixed, which is just enough time for Nash to work her seductive ways on him.   Maybe it is just two strangers hitting it off … or maybe it is something else.

That “something else” soon materializes in the form of a nasty fellow by the name of Jake (Scott King), who makes a show of flashing Nash’s picture around places that Cobb might have visited in the little hamlet of Dusty Springs.   Sure enough, word gets to Cobb that someone is looking for his friend, which she immediately confesses as being her ex-husband, who she betrayed and he is mean as a snake.

Circle June 12 on your DVD viewing calendar if you are a fan of mystery thrillers as Jake is everything as advertised.    Has our hero, Cobb, been cleverly maneuvered into being the champion of a desperate woman … or has he been played?
