The film Cold Wallet, directed by Cutter Hodierne, offers a darkly comedic look at the world of cryptocurrency. Set to be released on digital platforms on March 3, it dives into the chaotic aftermath of a financial collapse triggered by the sudden death of a crypto founder.
Raúl Castillo stars as Billy, a man deeply invested in a cryptocurrency named Tulip. His financial struggles intensify when Tulip’s value plummets, leaving him and his friends in debt. The cast includes Tony Cavalero as Dom, a friend facing the loss of his gym business, and Melonie Diaz as Eva, who uncovers the truth about Tulip’s founder, Charles Hegel.
Hegel, portrayed by Josh Brener, is discovered to be alive and hiding in a nearby mansion. The trio embarks on a mission to confront him and seek compensation for their losses. The film combines elements of thriller and comedy, focusing on the psychological aspects of greed, anger, and the impact of capitalist systems.
While it features technical jargon about cryptocurrencies, Cold Wallet prioritizes character development and the emotional stakes over complex technology discussions.
