JOHNNY’S PRESENT

is my first narrative short film I have written and directed in New york City (co-writer and starring: Mihaly Szabados). The artistic challenge was telling a complex drama of a layered character with the help of only a single actor who is on phone in a car during the whole story.

STORY:

‘An immigrant Shakespearean actor working as a Santa-for-hire decides to call everyone who ruined his life…on Christmas Eve.’
