ICE FROM THE SUN Trailer
#trailer2 youtube.com/watch?v=LUbhRfQPBxg
Shot entirely on Super 8 film, this award-winning experimental horror movie was director Eric Stanze's second feature film. Released in 1999, it remains one of the most logistically complex films ever made at its budget level. ICE FROM THE SUN was among the first independent films to be released on the newly-introduced DVD format - and it was the very first film shot on Super 8 to be DVD-released.
Even though the cutting pace of ICE FROM THE SUN is incredibly fast, it was one of the last feature films to be arduously edited on a linear system. Everything (Hollywood feature films, commercials, music videos, amateur shorts, etc.) is edited on non-linear computer editing systems today.

Story Synopsis:
In the Dark Ages, an evil wizard named Ambolin created another world, a dimension encased in ice. Within this world, Ambolin and his apprentice played gods, slaughtering innocent humans pulled in from Earth. The apprentice, known as The Presence, grew more powerful with each human he killed. The Presence took over the dimension within the ice and continued butchering hundreds of humans. The Presence became such powerful, dangerous force that he was soon a common enemy to both the angels in heaven and the devils in hell. Now, the angels and the devils wish to join forces. They plan to exterminate The Presence, but only a being of flesh and blood can pass through the ice that encases his dimension. The angels and the devils select a human from earth. Her name is Alison -- and she will be sent through the ice to assassinate The Presence.
