Just when the general public was starting to wrap their heads around cryptocurrency, along comes a thriller to shake things up. Enter Cold Wallet, the latest SXSW 2024 selection from director Cutter Hodierne—a film that taps into the high-risk, high-reward world of digital finance with a story that feels ripped straight from the headlines.
After a group of Redditors lose everything in a cryptocurrency scam, they take matters into their own hands—kidnapping the influencer who scammed them in a desperate bid for justice. With shades of the GameStop and AMC stock market chaos that rocked Wall Street, Cold Wallet explores the dark side of digital currency, internet justice, and financial rebellion. Even the trailer teases the tension and unpredictability of this high-stakes revenge tale.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Raúl Castillo (Smile 2), Melonie Diaz (Charmed), Tony Cavalero (The Righteous Gemstones), Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), and Zoë Winters (Succession).
Cold Wallet is set to hit theaters on February 28, courtesy of Well Go USA.
