Filmmaker Statement

A moralistic Christmas fable, shining a torch light into the darkest recesses of festive guilt - the prioritising of work over family and the sense that time has slipped away. The sort of metaphor we the filmmakers, Oliver Cane and Simon Wharf, could go to town with. The film is an opportunity to investigate this subject using drama, darkness and comedy. It's been made with the intention of being an online film - we understood that due to the festive nature of the film it would be unlikely to fit into a programme - as such it's never been screened at any film festivals.
