...familiarity there.” But it was the emotional exploration that Green enjoyed the most. “I can take all the risks in that direction” he said. “There are always special effects and dinosaurs...I want to really get to the core of what moves and shakes us.” “Snow Angels” clearly communicates the emotional intensity that Green seeks to explore. Green knows that a lack of special effects in his film may hinder its performance at the box office, but he is satisfied with...
