later joined the project as executive producer and moved the project to her Vienna-based Primary Pictures following Wolschlager’s death in 2021.Catalina Molina and Esther Rauch then joined the project as directors, with Albert staying on as a creative consultant “throughout the shoot and the post and the music and the grading.”Two other writers, Kathrin Richter and Jürgen Schlagenhof, added and built on Taschek’s original material for the final script.
Albert was sorry to step down from the director’s chair after having worked on the story with Wolschlager and Taschek for such a long time, but had to due to conflicting projects, including the Sky series “Funeral for a Dog,” production of which took longer than expected due to the COVID-19 crisis, and a long-gestating film that finally came together, her upcoming period drama “Blind At Heart.”
Rauch was immediately interested in the series when she first heard about while sitting in the audience at the Berlin Co-Pro Series event. A Salzburg-native, Rauch had already been working on a story with mystical elements set in Salzburg’s Untersberg mountain. While she never finished that story, she brought some of its elements to “Snow,” particularly those revolving around ancient mountain goddesses and magical female figures.
my god these festival films look bleak. thankfully nobody will ever see them
