A Very Williamston Christmas is an all-new holiday tradition! A professional woman running in the fast lane of the big city corporate world journeys back to her smalltown on a mission for her boss. When she runs into a handsome acquaintance from high school, she’s forced to evaluate her life and priorities. Hot cocoa, light parades, and romance collide. Hilarity ensues. This holiday movie parody will be one everyone from Michigan will recognize and enjoy. A Hawlmark original.

Lighting Concept: For this show I wanted to create the warm look and feeling of a Hallmark movie, heightening the usual tropes but staying true to the feeling of a really good christmas movie. I wanted to show the harsh separation of the cold, corporate world of Lansing, and the warmth and brightness of the small, cozy town of Williamston.
