GET TICKETS NOW

I'm thrilled to announce our latest episode where we had the honor of speaking with three incredible creatives behind the upcoming movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. This heartwarming film, directed by Dallas Jenkins, co-produced by Kevin Downes, and starring the hilarious Pete Holmes, opens in theaters on November 8th. You can grab your tickets at bestchristmaspageantever.movie.

Three key takeaways from our insightful conversation:

1. A Passion Project Years in the Making

Dallas Jenkins shared an emotional and inspiring journey of how The Best Christmas Pageant Ever became his passion project. He first encountered the book when his wife brought it home to read to their kids. The story's wit and heartfelt message moved him to tears, and he knew he had to bring it to the big screen. After 15 years of pursuing the rights, the success of his series The Chosen finally opened the door.

2. Balancing Humor and Deep Messages

Kevin Downes highlighted the delicate balance required to make a film that resonates with both children and adults. The goal was to create a movie that everyone can enjoy, regardless of age or background. By focusing on the unique perspective of the Herdman kids, who experience the Christmas story for the first time, the film brings a fresh and profound understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. It's a beautiful blend of humor, emotion, and timeless messages that will leave audiences both laughing and crying.

3. Creating a Nostalgic and Timeless Christmas Atmosphere

Pete Holmes, who plays Beth's father, Bob, shared his love for the film's set design. The set was meticulously crafted to evoke a warm, nostalgic Christmas feeling, reminiscent of a perfect Christmas card scene. This attention to detail not only enhanced the actors' performances but also created an immersive experience for the audience. Pete's anecdotes about the set and his humorous take on the filming process added a delightful layer to our conversation.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves Christmas movies, appreciates heartfelt storytelling, or is interested in the filmmaking process.
