Logline

In his directorial debut, Bryan Schaeffer presents an animated short film set in Montana. When 9-year-old Torrey discovers a magical realm in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, she embarks on an adventure to unravel the mystery of an ancient Norse crest, facing both real and fantastical challenges that reveal her inner strength and bravery.

Summary

An ancient dark magic lurks beneath America's iconic wilderness, a forgotten beast whispered about in tales from the old world. Few remember the warnings, and even fewer know the secret to protect against its imminent destruction. Hidden within a mysterious book lies the key, combined with a magical locket worn over the heart of those who follow the call, unlocks a portal to an imaginative realm where the balance of all worlds hangs by a thread.

As the veil between these worlds grows dangerously thin, an unsuspecting hero—a young girl named Torrey—is drawn into a perilous wilderness where forces much greater than her understanding battle for control. With each step through the stunning landscapes of Montana’s Yellowstone Country—and the wild trappings of her imagination—she must uncover mysteries, confront her deepest fears, and harness the power within.

Will Torrey discover the ancient secrets in time to thwart the encroaching darkness, or will it consume everything she holds dear?

Embark on a journey of courage, discovery, and magic in The Snow Day, where the stakes are high, and the adventure is just beginning.
