Winter is the season of abandonment. The warmth and the fertile earth that we’ve relied on throughout the year have disappeared, and the sun appears so briefly these days. The external world serves as a test of faith for our protagonist. When darkness falls and hope is lost, she calls upon the element of fire to guide her way.

This spot is an ode to all things whimsy and strange. The story is inspired - then abstracted - from The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. It revolves around a heroine who must journey through a kingdom of ice in order to save her childhood love. The spot is a stylized exploration of the virtue of innocence and romanticism, set against an apathetic world.

Description
GRETA (18 - 25) Idealistic, Courageous, Desperate.
Female, open to all races and backgrounds!

A character that can easily be delegated to the role of a heroine. However, this is a young, innocent girl, who is going through the impossible to save her friend. Staying true to her childlike nature is what what will give this character complexity.

As there is no dialogue in this spot, I would need the actor to be especially expressive with their expressions and body language in order to communicate their intense fears and hopes. Actors with a background in mime or dance would be especially helpful.
