Hey, my name's

Maher

Executive Producer & Director

I know a great plot when I see one and thank you for supporting this film!

I’m excited to incorporate an all-original soundtrack to underscore the emotional impact that music and sound plays in storytelling. Don’t worry, it’s not a “musical”…

Crowdfunding Progress as of February 10, 2025
Goal $30,000

AUSTIN AYLWIN

The writer:

IMG_2181-scaled-e1722222687737

Drawing from an eclectic mix of inspirations — an obscure 9GAG meme reimagining fast food mascots as crime bosses and an anti-capitalist critique of holiday commercialization — writer, Austin Aylwin embraces the absurdity of the holiday landscape with clever wordplay and well-timed visual gags in this refreshingly brutal tale that promises laughter and intrigue.

Currently completing a post-graduate teaching practicum, Austin also features in a fun little cameo as our story’s bartender…drawing on years of experience!

HUBERT RAZACK

The composer:

A regular contributor to trailer music and production libraries,
classily-trained French composer Hubert Razack, brings over 20 years of music experience to Canadian stages and screens; Commissioned to compose an original soundtrack & score, Hubert’s orchestrations uniquely tie the worlds of the Holidays with a driving pace. Previous credits including The Boy Who Became A Legend (stage) & Once Upon A Rose (dance show) among others.

JUNIOR THOMAS

The animator:

Based in Birmingham, UK, Animator & Digital Artist Junior Thomas brings his uniquely dark animation style with a hint of Film Noir flair to this holiday hit-piece; Known in Canada for the award- winning animated short, Never Shake the Devil’s Hand (2022), Junior is passionate about animation and looks to draw up another cult-classic with this tale full of lush worlds, vibrant characters and twisted minds.

THE CHARACTERS

Look out for those Easter eggs!

Among vibrant landscapes where each holiday has its own unique charm, a fragile peace is shattered as Christmas seems to dominate the calendar a little more, year after year.

Join Jack and the gang on their wild journey, where laughter reigns supreme, and remember, in a world of holiday cheer, sometimes it takes a little trickery to bring back the balance!

Big Red

Need we say more? Thee king of Christmas himself is coming to town with a list that he’s checked twice. Backed by Rudy & the Crazy 8, nobody wants to be called the naughty one around this guy.
