OUR STORY

SHATTERED ICE | The story centers on a small-town New England teenage hockey player’s attempt to navigate high school life when his best friend dies by suicide.

Our goal with the film is to normalize the conversations around suicide, raise awareness, tell a powerful story, and send a message to other young teenagers/adults that there is light at the end of the tunnel even in the darkest times.

Jake Miskin - Shattered Ice #2

“Shattered Ice is inspired by my own high school experience at Needham High School in Massachusetts between 2004-2009, where we lost multiple students to suicide. This fictional story is an amalgamation of experiences and events that took place while I was in high school, with a few creative liberties taken. We lost friends, we picked each other up, and we went to a hell of a lot of high school hockey games.”Writer's Statement

Alex

"Shattered Ice is a tense, realistic and ultimately uplifting sports drama in the vein of Friday Night Lights. It's a comeback story for a teenager and his community after a tragic and shocking loss. It's a story that highlights the irony of today, where we are a button push away from talking to anyone, but many people feel more alone than ever. In a world where communication is taken for granted, we forget what it's like to really talk, to really share your feelings with someone, and in the sports world, where being tough and kicking ass is valued above all else, perhaps what takes the greatest courage is showing vulnerability. This message is why I want to tell this story."Director's Statement
