THE HILTON GARDEN INN PROUDLY PRESENTS “A MERRY MOVIE CHRISTMAS”
A BENEFIT FOR “DIXIE CARE AND SHARE” AND “THE HAPPY FACTORY”

You simply can’t beat this time of year. There’s something magical in the air. What is that “something”? While you can’t see it or touch it, you can definitely feel it. I’m referring, of course, to Christmas spirit. With the holidays right around the corner, Southern Utah based film-makers want to help bring a little joy to those who need it.

Our 4th annual “Merry Movie Christmas” event will feature a triple feature of classic yuletide gems (we’re not revealing the titles here but what we will say is that they are all grand, holiday entertainment for the entire family), but the centerpiece of this magical evening will be our “Holiday Edition of the Guerilla Shorts Showcase”–A collection of Christmas-inspired short films put together by a handful of passionate (and talented) individuals including; Brandon Tippetts, Lonie Black, Dan Fowlks, Cathy Ford, Melanie Camire, Sheldon Demke, Ashley Skye Harrison, Christian Navarrete, Inti Chabert, Kipp Howard, Mike Wiest, Ned Cordery, John Pugh, Briana Pugh, Kendon Bagley, Derek Solberg, Scott Goodrich, Kreigh Carter, and Matt MacArthur.

To go along with an evening of cinematic Christmas gems, the amazing Cathy Ford will be on hand to perform. In addition to singing a few of her haunting originals, Ford promises to throw a couple of holiday standards into the mix as well.

Finally, we’re hearing a rumor that a very special guest will be taking time out of his hectic December schedule to make an appearance at our family-inspired get together. Who, you ask? Let’s just say he’s an incredibly jolly fellow with a big white beard, and kids from all around the world positively adore him. Yet another reason to bring the whole family out to this wonderful event.

“A Merry Movie Christmas” continues a proud tradition of encouraging and supporting local film-making, but more importantly, we’re looking to honor the true spirit of this wonderful time of year by raising money for “Dixie Care and Share” and “The Happy Factory”– Two heartfelt organizations dedicated to making the season brighter for those who need our help.
