“To tell you the truth, I thought I was going to make a scary horror movie about Christmas and… I ended up with this lovely, family-friendly movie (laughs)), he explained to DashFUN. For me, to scare, or to tell a fantastic and magical story like this, is the same process. You must be able to create the perfect emotions in the telling and execution of your story in order to convince the audience to really believe it.. ”
