Ice-9 makes films, podcasts, and interactive media (AR / VR) productions under the creative direction of award-winning filmmaker/producer Christine Cynn.
Films tell a visual story to a broad audience. Ice-9 creative director Christine Cynn has decades of experience directing and producing powerful documentary feature films. Two of these films are the award-winning ‘Shooting Ourselves‘ and Academy Award-nominated © ‘The Act of Killing‘ (co-director/co-producer).
Ice-9 makes short films at a professional standard for high-impact communication. Our team can bring your stories to life with 3D and 2D animation. In addition, we can help you increase reach through strategic distribution of your films on several platforms simultaneously.
Podcasts create an international audience through personal stories, reflections and interviews with a good mix of content depth and accessibility. For example, podcasts can build an informed long-term core audience interested in specific topics, increase public awareness and increase retention and accessibility.
In 2018 Ice-9 produced one season of ‘hello X’ podcast which you can listen to on iTunes, Soundcloud, Android or other podcast platforms. Visit the project’s website, https://hellox.me/, for more information.

The Ice-9 team also creates drawings, paintings, collages, and artistic graphic design.
