A Family X-mas

I came across this short film by Warren Eig on Reel-Exchange, which is a site that various artisans of media can post a demo reel of work that they have done.

Reel-Exchange: A Family X-mas: "A Family X-mas", is a twisted view of the whole holiday "night before X-mas" story. But it redeems itself at the end. It is funny, twisted, and definitely N.S.F.W.

So before watching this, make damn sure the kids are not around. It may visually warp the whole holidays thing for the rest of their lives.

The summary of the film is:
A FAMILY X-MAS is about a mob boss, Johnny Guccianno, who accidentally wakes up one Christmas Eve to discover Santa Claus. Johnny doesn't believe in Santa Claus, but after some convincing he realizes he's captured the real Saint Nick. Unfortunately, Johnny's not a big fan of Christmas.

And for something special, watch the credits for the cast list. I giggled at the casting/character irony.

Mr. Eig, I solute you. Here is the YouTube embed.
