At this year’s SXSW, Santa came early (or late, depending) and won the hearts of Austin festival-goers and Becoming Santa took home the Spotlight Premiers Audience Award. The documentary tells the story of Jack Sanderson, an ordinary man who decides to become a Santa for one holiday season. He bleaches his beard, attends Santa School, and dives head first into the figure so beloved for generations.
Film Buff On Demand has announced that this heartwarming documentary will be released on video on demand on Tuesday November 15, just in time for pre-holiday viewing. Be sure to check out one of my personal favorite films from SXSW.
