A Fairy Tale From the 3rd Dimension

Judging The Ice Book by its cover, it appears to be nothing more than blank sheets of paper.  Open it, however, and a delicate pop-up paper cutout scene appears.

Yes, it's a pop-up book.

But that's not all.

The paper is merely the stage, the scene set for a story told with light projection and sweetly haunting music.

Husband and wife Davy and Kristin McGuire cut, wrote, acted, filmed, and edited the entire production over the course of four months.

No jarring special effects, no cheap, in-your-face thrills, no funky black glasses of questionable effectiveness needed.

This 3D result is a fragile wonder, an intimate experience that speaks without words.
