Keegan DeWitt Original Score To Be Featured

in SXSW Film Premiere "Cold Weather"

The world premiere of "Cold Weather", the latest film to feature an original score by Keegan DeWitt, will premiere at the South By Southwest Film Conference and Festival this year.  Directed by Aaron Katz ("Quiet City", "Dance Party USA"), "Cold Weather" follows Doug (Cris Lankenau) a former forensic science major and avid reader of detective fiction, who, after making a mess of his life in Chicago, returns to his hometown of Portland, Oregon. There, he, his sister Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn), and new friend Carlos (Raúl Castillo) become embroiled in something unexpected. "Cold Weather" is the third feature scored by DeWitt to premiere at SXSW.  His first, "Dance Party USA" premiered in 2006 and his second "Quiet City" was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.  The "Cold Weather" announcement comes as DeWitt returns from his recent European tour and enters the studio for the follow up to his critically acclaimed LP "Islands" (Izumi Records).
