Some ideas only last for a few weeks. Some winters, 3 trillion gallons of Lake Champlain momentarily transforms into something fleeting and extraordinary. This short film captures the seasonal ice that take hold of the lake's surface, the kind of subject that rewards patience, the right light, and a willingness to move carefully. It sits at the intersection of environmental filmmaking and pure visual storytelling.
Shooting on ice can be dangerous and introduces variables you can't control and can't fake. The sounds, the cracks, the shifting light off the surface all had to be worked with, not around. The result is footage that feels alive in a way that studio work rarely can.
If you have a subject defined by place and time, the window to capture it right is always shorter than you think. Let's talk before the season changes.
