LONESOME WINTER

WRITTEN BY JOSHUA CONKEL & MEGAN HILL
DIRECTED BY MEG STURIANO

 


LONESOME WINTER is a melancholy Christmas comedy about Winter, a lonely hoarder who lives alone with her mean spirited cat, Sparkles. Just when Winter is about to throw in the towel, a mysterious stranger in an adorable skirt suit shows up just in time to teach winter how to shine. A hilarious send-up of Cathy comics, lifetime movies, and Christmas clichés.
