Proof of Hublitz's Hollywood star continuing to rise is what's next on her docket: What Breaks the Ice. Directed by Rebecca Eskreis, the former assistant of The Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme who's gone on to become a filmmaker in her own right, What Breaks the Ice is billed as a coming-of-age thriller centered around a pair of teenage girls whose unlikely friendship faces the ultimate test. Hublitz portrays Sammy, while Madelyn Cline, who's appeared on series like The Originals and Stranger Things, plays Emily. The duo, who "hark from different worlds," intend to have a summer to remember — but it turns dark when they "become accidental accomplices in a fatal crime."
Eskreis once said of What Breaks the Ice, "The film remembers a teenage experience that may never exist again — one in which, absent [of] technology, connection was intense, pure and evanescent, with the possibility of reconnection so uncertain. Ultimately, the film explores the liminal space of female adolescence, where the realization of lost innocence transforms into the painful and beautiful empowerment of growing up" (via Screen Daily).
From the sounds of it, What Breaks the Ice will be intense in a ton of different ways. Good thing Hublitz has plenty of experience on a project exactly like that.
