Short Film - 15.08 Minutes - 2025

Officially recognised at A Night of Horror International Film Festival for Best Unproduced Short Film Screenplay, Yuletide follows a young non-binary person returning home for Christmas, bracing for the cold sting of their family’s intolerance. But beneath the tree lurks something far more sinister - a mysterious present that swells with every cruel remark, waiting to unleash its dark secret.
