Overwinter

August 24, 2024 by cpgronlund 4 Comments

A snow-covered, rocky bit of land jutting into a gray and roiling sea.

Text Reads: Overwinter. Written and Narrated by: Christopher Gronlund.

In this celebration of solitude, Daniel’s life is changed forever after spending 5 months alone on an island 13 miles off the Maine coast.

Content Advisory: “Overwinter” deals with a job change, longing, solitude vs. loneliness, and does contain a couple words you’ve probably heard on TV or at work this week. There are also a couple scenes with moderate consumption of alcohol.
