HH must know info!

0- the number of cars director S.Mohen had while making the film

2 - the grade difference between Thomas (10th) and Clarissa (12th) when they met

1,500$ - Amount of funding for Production for 33 days of Set

Dec 2002 - When Thomas and Clarissa Met on a plaza Bench

Apprenticeship - Something Clarissa could get at the start of the film that would catapult her career to epic places. A prestigious one at that.

the Attic - Where Clarissa moved when her parents started divorcing. Her "Sanctuary" away from the yelling. She turned it into a half paint half music studio for her and Thomas

California Bud - the best Weed thoroughly enjoyed by Clarissa, John, Margaret and Charles

Cigarettes: A symbol in HH of the characters "problems." Thomas helps Clarissa quit initially, but she must find the strength to do it herself. Where John/Margaret are apathetic and both smokers. 'Clarissa: "You still smoke?" John: :Fo life foo!"'

Chapman University - School attended by filmmakers and Production team. Originally denied the film a greenlight because it was "too ambitious." After persuasion the school relented and granted equipment.

Charles Edmund - "Douche Bag" - John/Margaret/Thomas. Enjoys surfing, parties, beer, beaches and California

EEE(Extra Expensive Earrings) - A Gift Charles gives Clarissa. Too bad her ears aren't pierced! oopS!

Fashion Park - the name of S.Mohen's house while shooting the film. It posed at Thomas's basement, Margaret's bedroom and the London apartment.

HB Woodlawn - a real high school, where Clarissa, John & Margaret all attended. "Hey, you're the girl from HB whose painting won that award!" - Thomas

Margaret Loliend - "I'm a bitch" - Margaret. Enjoys Photography, smoking, starting fights, tattoos, her boyfriend John and unicorns.

Painting - what the films about! And of course Clarissa's undying love and passion.

Thomas Levy - "You know, he's Tom. Awesome." - John. Enjoys Writing music, skateboarding, going to concerts breakfast at 3 AM and 80s rap.

Those things at the gas station with the wrappers - Something John really likes, just no one knows what it is.

John Maher - "Stingy Bastard" - Margaret . Enjoys stripes, silence, driving, NYC, subtle humor.
Also S.Mohen's good friend who tragically died in a suicide, causing Sassy to get the gusto to make the film and dedicate it to him.

Clarissa Ryder - "The Sexiest Artist in History" - Thomas. Enjoys, beaches, long walks, theater, leggings and dinosaurs

Veronica Ryder - "...wow..." - John. Clarissa's mom and a very interesting woman. Always in your business and never understanding any of it. She and her husband were in the process of divorcing with Clarissa met Thomas.

About me:
vote for Happy Holidays!


How do you let go of your first love without losing a piece of yourself? And will you ever be happy with anyone else? Clarissa Ryder faces this universal question in Happy Holidays- a film about that time in your life when the only certainty is that nothing is certain.


Photobucket

Film Synopsis:

This film is the age old story of a young girl struggling to take charge of her future. Talented painter, Clarissa Ryder (Mary Fae Smith), has dreamed of becoming a successful artist her entire life. Encouraged by her two good friends Margaret Lloiend (Brigitte Ashley) and John Maher (Michael Sasso) she plans, upon graduating high school to move across country to pursue her dream.

However, close to departure, she falls in love with Thomas Levy (Jeff Whitlatch), an aspiring musician who becomes her muse. During her confusion at college of how to reconcile her passion for art and her love for Thomas, she meets Charles Edmund (Robert Walters), a strong unartistic pillar of support.

..Happy Holidays.. chronicles the tumultuous and confusing relationships these five characters are faced with. Going through affairs, engagements, promises and heartbreak, Thomas, Charles, Margaret, John and most of all, Clarissa must learn how to deal with the dreams of their past along with the realities of their future.
