Order ELFETTE SAVES CHRISTMAS - amzn.to/2MpSzlm (NOW AVAILABLE!)
Over last holiday season, the Film Jams team decided to road trip up to New York to film our 2019 Christmas movie. There's nothing quite like New York around Christmas time, and we knew the city would make the perfect backdrop to our family holiday film.
We picked up our rental car and nearly filled it up with props, luggage and equipment. We drove through the night from St. Pete Florida all the way to Virginia, and then up to New Jersey the next morning. Although our journey was long, we got plenty of great b-roll to make it worth it.
"Santa has been kidnapped by the greedy corporate mafia and it's up to Elfette, an often overlooked wrapping paper designing elf, to travel to New York City, free Santa and save Christmas before it's over for good."
