War correspondent Blaise Dumas wakes from a coma in a Canadian hospital.  He has returned from covering an armed conflict in Eastern Europe, but his friend and colleague David is missing.  A story emerges through flashback that is both moving and harrowing. Snow and Ashes explores the nature of friendship, love, the role of the journalist, and the dangers they face physically and psychologically.  A powerful film that doesn't put a foot wrong.

Snow and Ashes is all the more remarkable because it is writer-director Michaud's debut feature.  Told with a true empathy for character, an appreciation for the power of narrative filmmaking, naturalistic performances, and evocative cinematography, Snow and Ashes heralds a major new talent.
