DARKNESS
JACK (V.O.)
Darkness. That's the first thing I
remember. It was dark, and it was
cold. And I was scared.The silhouette of a body appears as it drifts into a ray of
light, refracted through water, which turns into...A MOON - SEEN IN REFLECTION ON A SHEET OF ICE
The moonlight intensifies almost magically, and the ice above
begins to spider-web and crack.EXT. FROZEN POND - NIGHT
Snow-covered trees in every direction. The ice in the pond
continues to crack, until finally a hole splinters open. A
young man floats out of the water, bathed in the intense
moonlight. This is JACK FROST - thin, pale, barefoot, his
tousled hair frosted white.JACK (V.O.)
