It's Christmas Eve. Dad’s got indigestion. Mum can’t decide whether now’s the time to tell seven year-old William the truth about Father Christmas. And downstairs there are intruders. One is very fat and is eating all the mince pies. The other is abnormally short and has strangely pointy ears. Are they burglars? Escaped lunatics? Perverts? Or could it be... Father Christmas and his Elf? Whoever they are, William is on their list.
Made on a close to zero budget, Tell Him Next Year is 12 minutes long and features Harrison Sansostri (Creation) as seven year old William and Warwick Davis (Willow, Harry Potter, Star Wars) as Santa’s Elf.
It is the debut film of writer / director David Margolis and producer Caroline McKenzie. With a background in digital effects David has worked on several major films over the past eight years including 10,000 BC, Stardust and Australia. Then the credit crunch happened and he had to move back in with his parents. This film was the result. Read David’s comments on the film.
Caroline McKenzie is a published author, a graduate of Cambridge University and a recent graduate of the London Film Academy, where she now works.
With stunts coordinated by industry legend Roy Scammel (A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and Alien) the film is action packed with gratuitous violence, black comedy and shocking gore.
