Written, Directed, and Music Composed by Taylor Joshua Rankin

The Snow Leopard tells the story of a young composer who meets with her strict professor to help put the final touches on a new piece she is writing for string quartet, revealing repressed tensions between Mentor and Apprentice. The film is a dramatic thriller featuring surrealism and tightly choreographed camera movement that will appeal to fans of directors like David Lynch, Robert Eggers, and Andrei Tarkovsky.
