Director Statement

This project is something special to me, and my twin brother. Christmas has always been the most magical time of the year for both of us, even to this day. The nostalgia and magic has never faded, so when I got the idea for us to make it all come to life on the big screen, me and my brother Reid rushed to make it happen over this last winter break, before going back to college. I hope you enjoy this film of mine, and that it brings back the magic of your holidays as well!
