When a young boy finds Santa's lost bag of toys in a nearby forest, his first thought is to return it. His big brother has other ideas though, which might prove life changing for both of them.

This was intended to be a short film but with various shooting issues I decided to go the route of a short story-book style of an approach instead of scraping the idea all together.
Enjoy!I hope you enjoy this soon to be Christmas Claasic :)

    I think this was really imaginative - a great way to tell a story.

    The slight distraction for me was the narration not matching the words written in the book - I don't mean it was out of synch, I mean the words said were quite often different to the words written. Not sure why you would want to do this?

    Otherwise, very very good.

    This is already the film to beat in November!

    @Rich...Can't wait to see your next film! :D

    It does, Marnie. I love that Rich came up with something really cool and interesting for this project. I would love to see him enter this in a contest or five. Thanks, Marnie and Khamanna and Zach!

  • Good job overall, especially knowing what all went into it, the new ground covered, and the frustrations.

    Very nice. Quite a different approach, but definitely worthwhile.

    Great job.

  • Great job, Rich!
