"People tend to approach the holidays with this picture of what a perfect Christmas should look like," says Shun Lee Fong, the lead producer of the film. "And we drive ourselves to distraction and stress trying to measure up. But when it really comes down to it, the perfect Christmas is simply this: loving God and loving people."
SYNOPSIS: In what may be the last holiday with the family all together, Jessica Tannen has one goal: to give her family the perfect Christmas. But with a never-ending task list, a sibling grudge reigniting, extended family arriving early, and a mischievous dog, the comical chaos is mounting. Even when nothing goes as planned and peace turns to mayhem, Jessica learns that being surrounded by your loved ones is what truly makes Christmas special. ALL IS MERRY & BRIGHT is a hilarious and heartwarming reminder about the enduring strength of family and faith in the messiness of life.
Produced by Shun Lee Fong and Caren Kelly, with Greg and Darbi Scaglione serving as executive producers, ALL IS MERRY & BRIGHT is directed by Cory Edwards from a screenplay by Darbi Scaglione and Vicki Edwards.
