Spy thriller 'Out in the Cold', goes into preproduction.

The first instalment of the Miles Fisher spy series of films, introduces the audience to Miles Fisher in this tense claustrophobic thriller.

Described as thinking man's action movie, we find Miles Fisher shot and with memory loss, as he must unravel how and why he ended up left for dead. Paranoia becomes an impossible enemy without certainty of who to trust.

The audience will learn who Miles is, what makes him tick, in this story of espionage and survival, as he tries to solve the mystery of his predicament and regain his memory.

The film marks actor Matt E Hudson's feature directorial debut, but also first leading role in a feature film, with the entire production to be shared through social media, sharing pre-production, filming and post.

"It's a one man band indie production; I'm solely responsible for the script, the direction, filming and bringing the character of Miles Fisher to life. By sharing the journey of it's production I'm hoping to build an audience for it, but I'm also compiling photos and a record of production for a 'making of book' to release with the film."

Originally set to be a duologue feature film, the story was re-shaped into a single character story due to casting delays and scheduling conflicts which could no longer delay the production, in order to maintain it's 2026 release, having been stuck in development since 2020.

"It would have been easier to share the lead role responsibility and filming duties with another, but fate had other plans. While predominantly a solo character story, there will be much smaller parts thrown in to break up the monotony of following one main character, but it will be a subtle way of introducing the characters that make up this world, which otherwise wouldn't have been seen in the original duologue."

Filming is due to commence on location, in mid September.
