Kids beat Spring. Winter Wins!
New short comedy film Spring offers Vanoc solution for the shortage of snow on Cypress… use ice cream!
Stars Natalie Lisinska
Spring, a two-minute cartoon commissioned by the 2010 Cultural Olympiad Digital Edition (CODE), just launched this week on the Olympic website to rave reviews.
“Our joke was going to be that Spring (our film) is the hottest thing in Vancouver this winter. But now the real spring season arrived in Vancouver and stole our nifty catch-phrase.”
No one could have predicted the warming trend that melted the powder off the local slopes. Vanoc officials are scrambling to lay down straw and build up runs on Cypress by helicopter-dropping in snow.
“Our hero creates snowy slopes by using ice cream and the power of her imagination… maybe gelato could be a cheaper solution for Vanoc” says Kamm, the writer/director of Spring.
Oddly our film has a lot in common with the Cypress predicament… our hero snowboards… Cypress is home to the snowboard competitions. We also battled the weather while filming… we made a film called “Spring” about a character in love with winter sports and filmed it in the rainiest autumn in Toronto history!
Spring is one of sixteen lucky films commissioned by the 2010 Cultural Olympiad Digital Edition and is presented with the financial support of Telefilm Canada and Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC). Spring is a short yet epic two-minute comedy about a suburban winter-sports enthusiast who wages war against an early spring, risking life and limb to maintain her obsessive sub-zero activities. Spring can be seen on the jumbotrons at the Celebrations Sites, online, on Bell Mobility, Air Canada and event shuttle buses.
“The film Spring is about living your dream, no matter what the world throws at you… even the grassy blades of Cypress.”
