‘Christmas Eve In Miller’s Point’ Director & Cast On Their Indie Take On The Festive Season – Cannes Studio
deadline.comWhat kind of Christmas movie do you get when your director’s inspirations are early-90s Nickelodeon live-action shows and 1960s European cinema?
In Tyler Taormina‘s case, the answer is Christmas Eve In Miller’s Point. The movie sees four generations of the Balsano family get together for what, it transpires, may be their last annual Christmas party.
With celebrations underway, two of the clan’s younger members sneak out in an act of teenage rebellion, which plays out against a backdrop of wintery and suburban Long Island.
