SYNOPSIS:
For Kallie Watts, Christmas is anything but merry. For the last five years, the tinsel-strewn holiday has spelled disaster for her family, so when an apartment fire leaves Kallie and her widowed mother homeless just in time for the holidays, it comes as no surprise. There's only one logical conclusion: Christmas is cursed for Kallie. 

When her mother finds a new job in a small California town, Kallie steps out of the moving van and into her worst nightmare: a real-life version of "Whoville", overflowing with holiday decorations and brimming with Christmas cheer. Forced to navigate the complicated ins and outs of her jolly new surroundings, Kallie is shaken out of her gloom one day when she discovers a curiously crafted wooden Santa box on the porch, addressed to her. The moment she lifts the lid, the young teenagers' life is changed forever as she rediscovers the true magic and meaning of Christmas.

REVIEW By VICKIE:
The Santa Box - Ron Bough

This is a beautiful, inspiring story of love and forgiveness. It really touched my heart. I enjoyed each of the characters in the movie. They were all well-developed and did a wonderful job of showing us how the things we say and do can affect many other people for a very long time.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone. It is perfect for every age. It has awesome reminders for all of us and is a fabulous Christmas story with so much heart and soul.

REVIEW By LAWonder10:

• The Santa Box is a great beginning to the Christmas Season. Written for non-Christians as well as Christians. It  is a great inspiration, especially in this time of controversy. It is a film which the whole family can enjoy!
• The theme of the movie is the epic "make lemons into lemonade" theory. It is a movie most everyone can relate to on various levels.
• The story was very good and a much needed one in the world today. It is an idea all need to adapt into their personal lives.
• While the acting of Cami Carver was acceptable as Kallie, the parts of Otto, "Klaus", Kelly's mom, "Sue"and the "villain's" husband were very impressively convincing. The others needed a little more work. They lacked energy and actuality. There was a couple of scenes which could have only been accomplished with much "Christmas Magic", but the main point was effective.
  
• All in all, it was a very good movie to add to the Holiday Season!
• I give it a Four Stars rating:
• This viewing opportunity was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.

  Locally Produced (UTAH) THE SANTA BOX Announces Big Screen Release Date
-Film version opens Friday, November 6 -

          Salt Lake City – Writer, Director and Producer Spanky Dustin Ward in partnership with Covenant Communications and Excel Entertainment announced today that he new film, THE SANTA BOX, will open in local Megaplex Theatres on Friday, November 6. Covenant Communications served as the production company with Ron Brough as executive producer, and Excel Entertainment is distributing the film in theaters.
        Ward had been working on the idea and screenplay for the film over the past couple of years, but it was earlier this summer that the actual production shifted into high gear. “We shot the film in early August at several locations along the Wasatch Front,” said Ward. “And that was after only about three weeks of pre-production time, including casting and rehearsals! But everything fell perfectly into place to get THE SANTA BOX produced in time to release it for this Holiday season.”
          THE SANTA BOX tells the story of teenager Kallie Watts. For the past five years, Christmas has spelled disaster for her and her family. When a fire leaves Kallie and her widowed mother homeless just before the holidays, there’s only one conclusion: Kallie is cursed by Christmas. When Kallie and her mother relocate to a small California town, Kallie is confronted by her worst nightmare come true: a town overflowing with holiday decorations and Christmas cheer. Kallie’s life is soon changed forever by the gift of a Santa box. When she lifts the lid, she rediscovers the magic and true meaning of Christmas.
       THE SANTA BOX features mostly local talent, including Shawn Stevens as Otto, and newcomer Cami Carver as Kallie. “Playing Otto was something completely new for me, but it was a role I wanted so much,” said Stevens. “The Otto character is an 85-year-old German immigrant, and naturally, Spanky originally wanted to cast an actor who was around that age. But, luckily for me, with the help of an amazing makeup artist, Vanae Morris, I was able to convince Spanky that I could pull-off a great performance of an old German man. And the character was an absolute joy to play.”
         “For the role of Kallie, we auditioned dozens of young actresses and Cami originally auditioned for a different role, but she absolutely knocked our socks off!” proclaimed Ward. “We instantly knew she was our Kallie.”
         In addition to the two leads, THE SANTA BOX features 20-plus major characters and dozens of extras.
          “Filming during this crazy time brought some unique challenges, but we acclimated to it very quickly,” said Ward. “Everyone on the production team strictly adhered to safe production guidelines implemented by the health officers we had on set. Thanks to those practices, everyone in the cast and crew stayed healthy and the production went off without a hitch.”
