Screenplay Synopsis:
The screenplay is split into three parts, the first sets up and alludes to the rest of the plot, the second views the rising tension, while the third views the resolution of the previous implications. In the first part most of the major points are introduced. Ezra is introduced as the main character and Litz is introduced as his guide while also being alluded as a spirit by a background character not seeing him. Ezra's parents are also established as his emotional support as his interactions with them reveal the family is moving and heading towards their new apartment. There is also a special emphasis on Ezra's compass as it's implied, he needs to choose someone relating to it. However, the tension rises at the end of part one as the mushrooms are established as a threat. In the second part we are introduced to Niko as Ezra reveals his powers and Niko unknowingly returns the favor establishing their bond. Ezra's fear is further touched on by his views of the mushrooms and interactions with Litz. The family is invited to a block party in which Ezra reignites the lights unintentionally triggering Slyvet's appearance. There is also foreshadowing for Slyvet by Ezra's vision and foreshadowing for Niko's powers over ice by him dumping a cooler. In the third part Ezra, Niko, and Litz return to the party after interacting one on one as they meet the main villain of this story: Slyvet. Niko's parents are also attacked. Ezra conquers his fear by rushing to Niko and it culminates by Niko transforming, beating the monster. Afterwards the story is left on a suspenseful note by Ezra revealing his intention for the holders and Niko's hesitating on whether to join him. There are also allusions towards a greater story such as "The Well of Chaos" and Rajan, but they were briefly touched on so if the story continued their relevance would be explained.

Director's statement:

Storm Holders is the story of Ezra and his spirit guide Litz, as he chooses his own team of superheroes while becoming a hero himself. This project is the combination of childhood dreams and teenage ambitions as creating an animated series would be the fulfillment of my passions in music, drawing, and most importantly: writing. But above all I intend Storm Holders to be a story people will love that can inspire creativity and strong moral character. This script specifically "As The Ice Cracks" is intended to be a sort of pilot by assessing my strengths and weaknesses as a writer as well as viewing how an audience would react to the concept. The story takes inspiration both in tone and content from three sources, two of which are namely other animated series: Cartoon Network's "Teen Titans" (2003) and Nickelodeon's' "Avatar the Last Airbender" (2005). The inspiration for the former is evident both in the superhero context and the city setting, as "Teen Titans" had the fictional Jump City while Storm Holders is set in the fictional island combination of New York and Rome: New Roma. The inspiration for the latter is evident namely in the elemental power system, however, while "The Last Airbender" utilized the classic elements of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire this story will utilize a weather-themed collection known as Sunlight, Ice, Wind, Thunder, and Rain. This script alluded to the first and displayed the second while the other three would be used later on. Both stories also inspired the cast by the format of three male main characters and two female main characters. Although, "As The Ice Cracks" displays only the two of the male characters while the third and the two female characters would be shown later on. However, besides animated series Storm Holders also takes inspiration from a book series, "The Chronicles of Narnia" by CS Lewis (1950-1956). The series was famous for incorporating Gospel references and Christian themes in a contemporary fantasy. Likewise, Storm Holders is intended to do this by Ezra and Litz being metaphors for Christ and the Holy Spirit respectively. Furthermore "As The Ice Cracks" incorporates a Gospel reference by alluding to the Wedding of Cana during the block party scenes. While I intend to incorporate more of these themes if the story continues, they are supposed to be apparent enough to where they are recognizable to a Christian audience while subtle enough to be enjoyable towards a secular audience as well.
