Flash & Blizzard (a short film by Elizabeth McCormick)

Flash & Blizzard is the story of Erika and Jade, two women who for the last twenty-five years have lived without one another. As best friends, growing up they were inseparable, but once the demands of adulthood took over, they drifted apart and did not keep in touch…until now.

In this artistic, dialogue film, we see two friends who are still able to act as they once did as children, even though the span of years that separated them seemed to diminish everything they once knew.

Questions arise however, plaguing the women’s thoughts, especially Erika’s. When are you too old to be playing pretend? When must you grow up? And why does it seem that our society looks down upon those over twelve who still play pretend?

Flash & Blizzard questions this idea that when one grows up, they must throw away all childish behaviors. Is it really so bad that old friends over fifty play as they once did when they were ten-years-old?

Join Erika and Jade as they discover the answers to these questions taking up their roles as Flash and Blizzard once more!
