The Holidays on the Lens: Christmas Angel (dir by Brian Brough)


It’s the holiday season and Ashley (Kari Hawker-Diaz), who has spent almost her entire life alone, needs a job.  She has a nice apartment and a cute dog but no job.  Fortunately, her neighbor, Nick (Bruce Davison), needs an assistant.  It turns out that Nick is a bit of a Secret Santa, anonymously helping people.  Nick makes Ashley promise not to reveal who she works for….

(Wait, Nick — SAINT NICK!  I just got that.  Anyway….)

But when a travel writer (K.C. Clyde) meets Ashley and discovers the truth about Nick’s involvement, it looks like the holidays might be ruined for everyone.  Can the holiday season be saved?

Okay, obviously this is not a film for cynical people.  I like it, though.  December is my month to be earnest.  It’s a cute movie and there’s a lot of romance in the snow.  Bruce Davison isn’t in as much of the film as you might expect but he’s still the perfect Secret Santa.  If you’re in need some holiday cheer, you watch it below!
