Snow Days (1999)

Anecdotes

Let It Snow is a 1999 American romantic comedy film directed by Adam Marcus and written and produced by his brother, Kipp Marcus, who also stars. Additional cast members include Alice Dylan, Bernadette Peters, Larry Pine, Henry Simmons, Judith Malina, and Miriam Shor. The story involves a young man who finds love during "snow days" time off from high school, but spends years finding his true self. He is haunted by a family curse—as told to him by his grandmother—that the men in the family are doomed.

Production

Brothers Adam and Kipp Marcus comprise the writing, producing and directing team behind this independent film, and Kipp also appears as the male lead. Kipp asked movie studios for their short-ends (unused film) at a cheap price to have enough film to shoot in 35mm.

Kipp had wanted Bernadette Peters for the role of his mother, Elise, but when her agent said that she was too busy, he sent her the entire script via fax. After meeting with Kipp she accepted the part.

Part of the movie was filmed at the Marcus' mother's house in Westport, Connecticut.
