This week I released a new short film: Magic of the holiday. It’s my third homage video to Julysixth Park—the global cultural phenomenon celebrating Jurassic Park, established by sketch filmmaker duo Chris and Jack.
This video is a sequel to last year’s When you say Merry Christmas to someone but they live in another timezone, which I shot, edited and released on July 6th 2024. This year, we went a little bigger and shot in a few different locations.
We came up with a rough idea for the story in April, then in June while we were walking around IKEA, we tried to improvise and film a scene without a script, but ultimately it went unused.
I later wrote a script, and we shot it a couple weeks later, with pickups for the monologue the week after.
Bonus feature: the script for last year’s video
