To Return - A Virtual Reality 180 Short Film About Wild Ice Skating

For figure skater Laura Kottlowski exploring and skating on wild ice is like returning to gold—a state of innocence, curiosity and humility as well as the roots of figure skating. Through her lens and a poetic narrative you'll experience the multi-sensory joy and curiosities of untamed ice first-hand. For the best virtual reality immersive experience use a headset and headphones, or Google Cardboard. – A Film By: Laura Kottlowski Original Score: Kevin Larkin with accompaniment and vocals by Natalie Tate Skating, Direction, Cinematography, Writing, Narration, Editing, Color, 3D Illustration, Design and Animation by Laura Kottlowski Additional Filming, Photography and Production Support by Marisa Jarae Supported By: Adventure Film Festival, Outside TV, Google Special Thanks To: Abbey Smith, Graham Zimmerman, Pete Takeda, Jeff Rueppel, Jim Aikman, Alisa Geiser, Jason Giles, Mathias Omotola, Justin Jarae, Nokian Tyres
