Nothing says “holiday season” quite like the wall-to-wall reruns of It’s a Wonderful Lifethat start around Thanksgiving. But Frank Capra’s classic isn’t everyone’s favorite — A Christmas Story, 8 Crazy Nights, or even Bad Santamight be closer to your cup of nog. What if you don’t want to commit to watching two hours’ worth of holiday cheer? Could you condense the best parts of your favorite holiday movies down to one pumpkin spice-flavored morsel?
Studio 360 wants you to make your own super short holiday movie. It can celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah — even Festivus. Actor and comedian Jenny Slate will pick a winner.Your entry must be 30 seconds or less.
Update: We have a winner! June Tate‘s magical animation took first place, but you can watchall the entries here. Thank you to all our listeners who submitted their work.
