"And the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of home" is a beautiful line that sums the film up quite nicely — entirely too nicely to be real.

Q: I just watched "The Wolf of Snow Hollow," which starred Robert Forster, but the credits also say it was dedicated to Forster's memory. How does that work?

It works through film great Robert Forster's dedication, combined with the slow process of releasing an indie film. Forster died of brain cancer on Oct. 11, 2019, at age 78, not long after wrapping work on "The Wolf of Snow Hollow" (2020).

Though every director in the world will tell you that there's plenty of production work to do after they say, "That's a wrap," it's especially true for indie films.

Actually, Ming Tea is a real band, and it's where Austin Powers got his start.

OK, sure, we all know that's comedian Mike Myers in an outlandish faux-British Invasion getup, and we know Austin Powers is just a character he created. But he created him, initially, to front that band.
