THE SNOW DAY
-ESCAPE FROM YELLOWSTONE
Experience Montana's Yellowstone country in a whole new light! Let your imagination soar as you discover this stunning landscape's wonder through a child's eyes. The work-in-progress short story and accompanying animated film are part of the innovative interactive publishing series, The Last Best Trails®, brought to life by Bozeman-based author, illustrator, and animator Bryan Schaeffer. Embark on this other-worldly journey with us and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Yellowstone's hidden winter season!
LoglineWhen a young girl obsessed with her favorite TV show is mysteriously transported into a stunning yet perilous winter wilderness, she must navigate a landscape filled with magical creatures and daunting challenges to find her way back home before the reality of her frozen adventure consumes her entirely.
SummaryIn the heart of Montana, a young girl named Torrey finds herself trapped in the confines of her small rustic cabin, glued to a dull TV show that has long lost its charm. As an expansive and ever-changing world unfolds just beyond her window, boredom gnaws at her, and she dismisses her father's advice to "turn off the TV and go outside," choosing instead the predictable comfort of her screen.
Everything changes when a fierce windstorm knocks out the power, sending an ancient, mysterious book tumbling from a forgotten shelf.
Suddenly, with her beloved show interrupted and darkness settling in, Torrey faces an unexpected choice: will she explore the mysterious dusty book cast off the storm in the shelf, or scramble to revive her trusty battery-powered DVD player?
Story LocationsFor the past eight years, Bryan Schaeffer and his family have had the incredible opportunity to explore the stunning Greater Yellowstone region through all four seasons. During this time, they've captured a rich collection of photographs and visual references that serve as the foundation for "The Last Best Trails" illustrated guidebook. This journey has taken them through Montana's Yellowstone Country - Bozeman, Big Sky, and Yellowstone allowing them to share the breathtaking landscapes and unique experiences this remarkable area offers.
