Director Statement

Inspired by their shared fascination with cultural myths and stories, award-winning creative studio Mixtape Club teamed up with The New York Times-bestselling children’s book author Adam Gidwitz, to bring to life an enduring Japanese folklore in a present-day setting. Snow Girl’s graphic style was designed by The New Yorker illustrator R Kikuo Johnson. The film is the first official collaboration between Mixtape Club founders Chris Lenox Smith and Jesse Casey with Adam Gidwitz, and is a step forward in their quest to bring together time-honored storytelling with modern techniques.
