In 'Part One' we have four films, Signature Entertainment bring us a Christmas tale. We have two from Netflix, one a revenge yarn, the other a Norwegian tale laced in folklore. And we close things out with a new short from 33RED Films, Intergalactic Studios & London Flair.
'Mistletoe Ranch' is directed by Rhiannon Bannenbeg and written by Claire J. Harris. International photographer Aimée Tremblay (Mercy Cornwall) returns to the town of Snowy Oak to restore the seasonal spirit. There, she reunites with her ex- fiancé, James Hunt (Jordi Webber), and discovers her family property, Mistletoe Ranch, is in debt. As Aimée faces a choice between returning to manage the property or selling it so she can continue to pursue her dream career, she finds herself reconnecting with the ranch, the locals, & James and his daughter (Molly Belle Wright).
'My Name Is Vendetta' is directed by Cosimo Gomez, who co-wrote with Sandrone Dazieri & Andrea Nobile. After living in the shadows for years in an undisturbed Northern Italy town, a former organized crime sicario (Alessandro Gassmann) and his daughter (Ginevra Francesconi) ignite a revenge heist after his enemies come back to hunt their family.
'Troll' is directed by Roar Uthaug, who co-wrote with Espen Aukan. Deep inside the mountain of Dovre, something gigantic awakens after being trapped for a thousand years. Destroying everything in its path, the creature is fast approaching the capital of Norway. But how do you stop something you thought only existed in Norwegian folklore?
'The Out' is written & directed by Harry Brandrick. It follows Liam (Allan Mustafa), a thirty-five-year-old recovering heroin addict, as he looks after his young daughter, Sofia (Savannah Skinner-Henry) for the first time since being out of prison and getting clean. These 24 hours see Liam piecing together the fragments of his life after prison and his complicated journey to recovery.
