“I’m working with a small budget, but do have the means to pay, especially for key creative members,” Tamsin told D&CFilm.

The short itself is a Christmas film, the logline is: A struggling actor meets a magic dog called Rudolph. She’s led to Santa who offers her a life altering choice that forces her to confront what truly matters.

“I’m really leaning into the comedic, ‘so bad its good’ style of Christmas film where the plot is ridiculous but everyone buys into it because it’s Christmas!” said Tamsin.

The film will be shooting in South Devon this August and ideally the director and DOP would be South West based.
