Kyle T. Bell Director’s Statement

We began this film with one simple goal: make ‘em laugh. Fortunately, animated filmmaking is a collaborative process requiring the diverse insights and inner wisdom of multiple talents. Before we knew it, our simple goal had blossomed into something rare and very special: a shared labor of love. Together, we crafted a Chaplinesque cartoon that anyone could enjoy while our goal stayed simple. After all, wasn’t it Charlie Chaplin who observed, a day without laughter is a day wasted?

Two friends devote a winter afternoon in rural South Dakota to their favorite pursuits: ice fishing, cold beers, friendly chatter, man’s best friend, guns, and dynamite — all on a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere.
Jason Shahinfar Director’s Statement
My start in filmmaking came with a desire to become a cinematographer. The idea of images, their emotional impact, and their ability to communicate in ways words could not, attracted me to this field. Before long I realized that it was possible to use that style as a director, so I switched paths. Since then it has been my goal to use images in creating worlds that audiences could believe in and lose themselves as if in a dream.
