Warning: This Christmas ad will make you reach for a hanky. While most Christmas ads encourage you to buy something, this short film focuses on love. There's also the anticipation of a Christmas gift, but one with a twist. It was made on the cheap by Phil Beastall.
The video cost just £50 to make and was made as a Christmas film back in 2014. Phil decided to share it again on his Facebook page on the back of this year’s John Lewis Christmas ad, starring Elton John. “I love making films and telling stories and I decided back in 2014 I wanted to create a short film that would resonate with people, Phil told Bored Panda. “Ultimately I wanted people to take a moment to realize how lucky we are to be here and remind themselves that although life can be really tough, we’re not defined by our careers or materialism. Family comes first and it’s important we look after each other. So although it’s not a true story, it’s one I hope hits home.”
