"Hello! I’m @toriofthetrees AKA Victoria Holland (she/her)! I’m an author by day and the Water Has Memory director by night! I’ve been a huge fantasy fan since childhood, and Frozen was right up my alley when it was released. I was in my sophomore year in college when the first movie was released, and it was quite a powerful experience because up to that point, it was very hard for me to relate to characters who were of my own gender. I always related more with men, which was kind of a lonely experience because fiction was how I coped with a lot of things growing up. When I discovered Elsa, it was like staring myself in the face; only with blue eyes, white-blond hair, and snow springing from her fingertips. I understood her from head-to-toe, from her personality, to her trauma, to the power she wielded, to her relationship with her sister…
She was beautiful.
That solidified my love for Frozen. It is my favorite story of all-time and when the 10th Anniversary came around, I was the one who approached the Frozen fandom on tumblr to celebrate it! I really had no hard ideas, just a desire to come together with the community to create something beautiful. A few fans came together on a discord server of my making and after we had settled on Water Has Memory as the project, they voted for me to be the lead on the project. That was really nice of them, and I did my very best to fill the role as well as I could. I helped formulate the concept for the project, I wrote and scripted, contributed my own piece, made the final call on major decisions, ran the blog, and tried my best to honor the voice of everyone involved.
I have to say that this one of the best teams I’ve ever worked with. They are a really passionate group. I know that some people may praise how well they work (and their work ethic is impeccable), but I love most of all how supportive they all are. They love Frozen as much as I do, and that really is what brought us all together.
Thanks Team!
Thanks to those who shared their memories!
And thanks to those who supported us!
