Not everyone is into the holidays...
Initially an exercise in crafting natural dialogue flow, this project drew inspiration from renowned filmmaker Noah Baumbach. It evolved into a movie exploring themes of pessimism and optimism, the need for joy while also allowing for genuine self-expression.

Starring Blake Goias & Nick Duff
Directed by Doug Paniagua

Video Description: The short film, Holiday Spirit, made by FMS Stockton.
