“Nell, Simon, and their son Art are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die.”
I absolutely love Christmas so working on a Christmas film, getting to wrap presents, move twinkly lights from room to room to create a warm, loving and fun environment and trimming trees with the most gorgeous decorations was a dream!
As an art assistant I mostly assisted with set decoration, propping and buying as well as doing some graphics such as creating the photo album the friends reminisce over which involved editing photographs to give them a 90s aesthetic and putting the cast of school friends in pictures together to sell their long history.

An unconventional Christmas wreath using Art's toy cars which looked even more lovely with the twinkly lights
