Drifting Snow is a 2021 Canadian drama film, written, produced, and directed by Ryan Noth.[1]
The film centres on Joanne (Sonja Smits) and Chris (Jonas Bonnetta), two strangers brought together by a car accident on a back road in Ontario's Prince Edward County; although neither is injured, Chris's car is damaged enough to not be drivable, so Joanne drives him back to town in hers. Each is grieving a recent loss following the death of Joanne's husband John (Colin Mochrie) and Chris's mother; Chris has also recently been diagnosed with a progressive eye disease which may eventually threaten his career as a cinematographer. As the two talk during the drive, their shared experiences of loss and uncertainty about the future help each to find new perspective on their lives.[2]
The cast also includes Linda Goranson, Jess Salgueiro, Patricia Phillips, Chris Locke and Rachel Bonnetta.
