Merry Glitchmas
She’s the glitch that broke Christmas.
A meta romantic comedy, holiday fantasy and satirical sci-fi feature about a flawless leading man whose perfect Christmas world begins behaving very badly.
The premise
He has saved Christmas, found true love—and done it eight times.
Every Christmas, Nicholas Evergreen meets the perfect woman, saves the family business and finds true love beneath falling snow. Then Ellie, a sharp-edged member of the crew manufacturing his reality, accidentally breaks through the illusion.
Nicholas discovers an artificial holiday town, a parade of fiancées and a company determined to keep its eternal leading man smiling on cue. For the first time, he must choose between perfect fantasy and the gloriously unpredictable real world.
The two worlds
A Christmas card with machinery behind it.
Mistleton is warm lights, bakeries, snow and aggressively inevitable romance. Behind the set is a cold corporate system recycling the same fantasy forever. The comedy lives in the collision.
