From wildlife filmmakers Laura Sams and Robert Sams, First Snow in the Woods is the third movie in the award-winning “In the Woods” series. Set in the vivid fall season, the movie is a heartwarming, hilarious tale filled with stunning wildlife footage and original music (including a groundhog, chipmunk and woodpecker’s ode to fall). Based on the book First Snow in the Woods, by Carl Sams II and Jean Stoick.
In a pumpkin patch surrounded by the reds and golds of fall, a worried scarecrow watches the animals prepare for winter. “Soon I’ll be put back in the barn all alone until spring,” he sighs. And he worries another season will pass without scaring a single crow – or meeting the beautiful lady scarecrow across the field. A mouse moves into his straw-filled heart, tells him the story of First Snow in the Woods and helps him trust the changing seasons.
“Stunning animal and nature footage and still photography blend with the Scarecrow’s plot, a live-action feat of photography with humor and charm to spare. The animals take on real personalities thanks to amusing voice-overs, clever editing, and smart cinematography. Dialogue is witty, the sight-gags are amusing, the music is memorable-and it pays off with the happiest of happy endings! ”
