CHRISTMAS EVE IN MILLER’S POINT

CHRISTMAS EVE IN MILLERS POINT-FINAL

It’s Christmas Eve on Long Island, and for the rambunctious Balsano family, that means kitschy decorations, questionable desserts, and classic familial feuding. All the expected tensions that arise when four generations are cooped in one place are only heightened by the fact that this could be the last holiday season spent together in their ancestral home.

As the festivities commence and squabbling escalates, two teenage cousins take advantage of the Yuletide chaos to sneak out into their small town to make some holiday magic of their own. Directed by Tyler Taormina with cinematography and production by Carson Lund (also at the Festival with his directorial debut Eephus) , this charming take on an Italian-American Christmas is laced with bittersweet nostalgia and features an outstanding ensemble cast including Michael Cera, Francesca Scorcese, and Matilda Fleming.
