Snow Bunny
26 minutes Drama / Female Filmmakers
Tensions build and tempers flair as an ordinary American family tries to connect over the course of one long winter day.
Intended Audience: Mature
Dean and Abigail have made all the right choices. They went to college, got married, and had children. Dean has a great job, and Abigail put her career on hold to raise their two daughters. Yet somehow no one is happy. Mandy and Delilah crave attention from their parents; Abigail wishes her relationship with Dean could regain its initial spark; and Dean wishes that everyone would just leave him alone. With so many competing desires, the push and pull of the family's interactions leads to a dangerous and awkward expression of passion born out of an unhappy mixture of obligation and devotion.
Snow Bunny arose out of a deranged fantasy I used to have about my parents after their divorce. For me, family life was always strained, and it seemed that we functioned more as a group of individuals who happened to reside together, rather than as a cohesive family unit.
Snow Bunny is a compassionate exploration of the loneliness and rage people feel in the midst of what is supposed to be a nurturing environment. I wanted to explore how problems in adult relationships affect children and how the more people repress their feelings, the more those feelings express themselves in inappropriate, dangerous, and unexpected ways.

“Snow Bunny” captures married life perfectly and should be seen by anyone feeling trapped in not only their marriage, but in any rut in their life. Julie and Jessica take advantage of every frame of this 26 minute short film and deliver a piece that is truth on tape. -- Nic Baisly, Film Snobbery
"This film is about many things. It’s about a lack of communication. It’s about thinking before speaking. It’s about truth and honesty within a relationship. It’s about trust and faith as well." --Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema
"The climax of the film is disturbing yet comforting in a bizarre way. I won’t spoil it for you, but it is probably one of the most tense moments I have witnessed in a short film. I adored it." Travis Legge
