In an interviewcite web|url=http://www.zoom-in.com/sundance/podcasts/on_the_circuit_frozen_river|title=Zoom In Online Interview with Courtney Hunt] Courtney conducted shortly before the film's nationwide release, she gave some insight into the roots for the film's prevalent theme of a mother's love for her children being a culturally universal trait. She admitted that the most important moment in her life was the birth of her daughter and how that moment made all of her other goals in life lesser priorities. By showing how such intimacy knows no bounds - culturally or socially - Courtney said that she hoped her film would enable audiences to break down their assumptions about others around them.
