Friends & Family Christmas
Nothing more holly jolly than finding love.
Directed by Anne Wheeler
Produced by Front Street Pictures
A warm, festive holiday romance about two women who begin as a fake couple and discover genuine connection amid family, art, and Christmas cheer.
Daniella has recently moved to New York to pursue an art career and decides to stay in town to share the holidays with her circle of artist friends, instead of going home to see her sweet, if overbearing, parents. Amelia is a talented entertainment lawyer trying to stay focused on her work after a broken engagement. When Daniella and Amelia are set up by their parents, they agree to pretend that they are dating, to appease them for the holidays. However, as they spend time in each other’s worlds, they soon build a connection that is deeper than either of them could have hoped for.
