The Giant Under The Snow

MAGIC. MYSTERY. MAYHEM.

When I heard about this project, I was instantly interested: The very simple pitch of young protagonists going up against the might of an ancient evil has its roots in classic adventure tales like Narnia and Harry Potter. The 80’s setting stands it apart from most, and echoed the thrills of Stranger Things and The Goonies. Ancient mythology has always fascinated me, and it’s where all good storytelling has originated, so using the Norse legends in the story gives it richness and detail that is lacking in most ‘family’ films these days. Along with the source novel, I started reading the first few pages of the screenplay and the story and characters came alive, and in my head I was watching a fantastic and fantastical film with three endearing leads seemingly on an impossible quest. Treating the children as real characters with depth, wit and humility made the story feel more real, more current, and will certainly strike a chord with the younger audience.
