Snowflake is a 2014 Italian short film written and directed by Italian director Francesco Roder and filmed in New York City. The short film stars American actresses Ele Keats and Tracy Middendorf.

After an advanced screening held during the National Week of Culture in Italy, it officially premiered at the HollyShorts Film Festival in August 2014[1] and later won two American Movie Awards in 2015.[2]

Plot

Aurore (Tracy Middendorf) is dying and Claire (Ele Keats) is at her side, waiting for the inevitable end to come. But Aurore has a final gift for her: a diary where she tells the story of their love. While the snowflakes fall outside the window in the darkness of their last night together, Claire will finally see their love story through the eyes of her beloved.

Cast

Production

The short film was entirely shot in New York City in January 2013. Actress Ele Keats got involved in the project in 2009 after reading the script and also served as an executive producer[3] while Tracy Middendorf joined the cast two days before filming began.[4] Supporting actors Dayvin Turchiano and Lorenzo Balducci also participated in production in associate and executive roles, respectively.

The post-production process was held in Los Angeles (color timing), Mexico City, Madrid (editing) and Italy (music and sound design).

Being an Italian production shot in the United States, the crew and the cast were equally divided between both nations.

The first screening was held in the director's hometown Sacile, during the National Week of Culture, before the LGBT movie Fasten Your Seatbelts

Festivals

After a sneek screening at the San Antonio QFest in San Antonio, Texas, the short film officially debuted on August 19, 2014 at the 10th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival in Los Angeles[5]

Awards and Nominations

The short film won a total of 17 international film awards.[6]
