The culmination of a year of combat-driven narrative shorts, this project presented an irresistible opportunity to blend the magic of Christmas with the kinetic energy of a fight scene. Featuring a fantastical special task force of Santa’s most elite elves, we brought a fresh twist to the Christmas narrative genre. And of course, I couldn’t resist giving my Uncle Tom his long-overdue close-up.
Time constraints demanded quick decision-making and effective compromises, but despite the long night and script adjustments the team’s passion and enthusiasm never waned. After all, who wouldn’t want to make Santa’s California Christmas come to life?
