Santa's Blotto: We need to talk about Christmas...
If you're bored of all the usual saccharine bullshit on TV over Christmas- then this is for you. A new British independent short film, written and directed by Patrick Myles, Santa's Blotto casts national treasure Brian Blessed as a slightly worse for wear Santa.

I Have Your Heart by Molly Crabapple, Kim Boekbinder and Jim Batt
I Have Your Heart is a stunning stop motion collaboration between New York illustrator Molly Crabapple, singer Kim Boekbinder and animator Jim Batt.
The film is the story of a good girl with a bad heart and the boy whose death will save her life- inspired by ‘The Organ Donor’s March’, Boekbinder’s moving song about love, loss, and open‐heart surgery.
