I Love Christmas DVD - SHORT FILM: Shown at
the BANG! Film Festival in Nottingham. The
film was received in appropriately unfestive manner and even
Chris Cooke, Director of the BANG! screening said,
"The film went down well with the audience in the Cafe
Bar,....I didn t want anything particularly 'Christmassy' for
this screening and 'I Love Christmas' fits the bill nicely.
Its both morose and amusing which is where its at for alot of
people." >
