Snow Steam Iron is a short film produced by Zack Snyder with his family. Snyder was considering teaching a course on iPhone filming at ArtCenter, including filming and editing all on one's phone, when Deborah Snyder pointed out that he'd never gone through the full process, himself. He decided to film Snow Steam Iron largely for this reason, filming with friends and family over two days. It's available for free on VERO True Social.
Official synopsis[]
Snow gently falls on the blood-stained streets of a seedy out-of-time New York City. Steam envelops the nightmare unfolding within its narrow alleys. Iron is the will of the one who would dare to resist... fight... survive.
--Official press release
Plot[]
A backroom deal is made on behalf of a young woman working as a model in New York City that results in her taking a beating. Seizing an opportunity, she fights back, injuring the corrupt cop. Her situation goes from bad to worse when the police and mafia agree that the woman can no longer continue breathing. She's taken to a back alley, where the mafia boss is going to kill her, but she fights back again. She defeats her would-be murderers one by one, thug and cop alike, finally arriving at the sadistic officer who first beat her. She knocks his teeth out with his fellow officer's baton before finishing him off. She's later arrested for her killing spree.
Production[]
When Zack Snyder and his family suffered a tragic loss in 2017, Zack and Deborah Snyder had to step down from their work on Justice League. As part of their grieving process, they decided to spend a weekend making a short film as a family. Snow Steam Iron was the result of that weekend's work. They produced the project through their production company, Cruel & Unusual Films, Inc. largely with connections they'd made along the way. The only camera Zack used was his iPhone, which was also used for editing.
After filming Snow Steam Iron, Zack showed it to Scott Glenn, who was hesitant to accept that a film could be shot with a phone. After seeing it, Glenn was impressed, commenting that if you give a samurai a butter knife, he'll still be able to kill you.[1]
