Director Simon Hunter has completed principal photography on his latest feature film, COLD MIND, with the psychological thriller now in postproduction and scheduled for completion in spring 2027.
Filming wrapped in October 2026 following an ambitious shoot across the Algarve in southern Portugal, bringing together an international cast and crew for a production featuring extraordinary locations, complex action sequences and atmospheric cinematography.
Shot on the ARRI ALEXA 35 with Cooke lenses, the film takes audiences into a dark world of psychological tension, mystery and suspense.
Production took place across a diverse range of locations, from spectacular contemporary villas overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to remote coastal settings, atmospheric interiors and even deep underground in a working salt mine.
The production also involved challenging night shoots, dramatic action sequences and carefully choreographed scenes, all designed to deliver a visually striking cinematic experience.
AN INCREDIBLE INTERNATIONAL TEAM
The film brought together a talented international cast and crew, with production teams working across multiple locations and a dedicated second unit helping to capture additional material.
Director Simon Hunter commented:
“COLD MIND has been an extraordinary experience. We set out to make something ambitious, atmospheric and visually exciting, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved. We had a fantastic international crew who brought enormous energy, creativity and commitment to the production. From filming deep underground in a salt mine to some truly spectacular coastal locations, it’s been a remarkable adventure.”
Hunter added:
“Making a film is always a huge collaborative effort, and I’m enormously grateful to everyone who helped bring this project together, both on set and behind the scenes. Now comes the exciting process of shaping everything we’ve shot into the finished film.”
POST PRODUCTION UNDERWAY
With principal photography complete, COLD MIND has now entered postproduction, where editing, visual effects, sound design and the film’s original score will bring the next stage of the story to life.
Building on the original COLD MIND production, the feature expands the story into a larger cinematic experience, combining psychological suspense with a distinctive visual style.
COLD MIND is scheduled for completion in spring 2027.
Further announcements, including behind the scenes footage and the first official teaser, will follow as the film moves towards completion.
