Killing Santa

Title: Killing Santa
Year: ----
Director: Kris Hixson
Lead: Huyen Thi, Kieran C. Baroody, Mike Ferrell, Pam Calci, Gilly Conklin, Rudy Greene
Rated: F for Funny (haha)

This poor guy is traumatized throughout his lifetime because he never got boxing robots from Santa Clause as a kid, so in his adult years he plans to kill him. Their description is better so here it is
"Conner Creech hates Christmas. More specifically he hates Santa Claus. Ever since he was a kid he's only wanted one thing for Christmas, Boxing Robots. Now an adult and tired of being shafted year after year, Conner has decided to take matters into his own hands and rid the world of the judgmental, selectively generous St. Nick. His plan is fool proof. While his overly enthusiastic parents, sensible wife and sex deprived brother all eagerly await the holiday bliss, Conner remains focused on snuffing out the most beloved symbol of his most despised holiday."

This was the funniest short film Ive ever seen, Ive seen a few short comedies and this one takes the cake. Theres not a lot to it, no jokes that you have to think about for awhile, its straightforward humor, and its funny. The film was written by my dads co-worker, thats how we got the copy. Killing Santa was nominated for best comedy at the Cape Fear Indepepndent Film Festival. It was funny.
