Originally titled 'Scout' the story of this film is half a decade old. It got its first boost from winning the Atlanta Film Festival, where Sam earned a small grant to develop the script, but he was young and knew little of how the industry worked.
Fast forward to 2022, where the path to getting his first feature off the ground felt much less daunting, but he was trying to do it under a different script. When momentum for that slowed, Ashley and John pushed him to pick up Scout once again and see if the time had finally come.
With 3 months until winter, they pushed to get funds raised for an 750K version of the script, and were partially successful in raising funds, but not enough to fully greenlight. With those funds they were able to complete a short proof of concept to aid in their push for Winter 2024.
Our Proof of Concept taught us a lot, it's most important lesson: no matter how hard we expected the conditions to be, they were harder.
After deliberation, we came to the conclusion to raise the budget considerably, mostly to accommodate talent of a higher caliber. We're seeking an up and comer or established talent for most roles within the film.
With an additional 5 days of contingency for inclement weather. We'll be shooting primarily in the March, the month with the most amount of snow accumulation and warmer temps than January-February.
