Indie crime thriller “Wind River” has been scrubbed of its Weinstein ties, just in time for awards season. A source confirms to the Los Angeles Times that the Weinstein-free “Wind River” began screening for awards consideration again this month, while “For Your Consideration” screeners are also expected to land in voters’ mailboxes sans Weinstein credits. George’s Acacia Entertainment, one of the film’s financiers and producers, stepped in to fund the “Wind River” awards campaign. As part of the dissolution of its relationship with Weinstein, “Wind River” will not receive funding from nor contribute future revenues to the distributor. 'Wind River’ holds a mirror to an ignored epidemic raging through this nation -- the exploitation of women.
