Cold Copy is a character-driven thriller that tackles one of the most pertinent issues of our day: our enslavement to narrative. It follows journalism student Mia Scott as she tries to win over the ruthless and influential Diane Heger -- tiger of an interviewer and host of The Night Report -- to get a segment aired on the show. But Diane's influence and Mia's thirst for success are a terrible cocktail, and under Diane's eye, Mia soon feels compelled to play fast and loose with the truth, twisting the tragic story of her innocent subject, cocky teen Igor Nowak to make it pop. The film is a dance between two women, one who has constructed the perfect mask of cold, calculated success, and one who believes the only way to succeed is to mimic it. Ultimately, it explores the irreparable damage done by our growing desire to 'construct' ourselves and the world around us, a world where narrative now supersedes truth.
