Dear Santa

Client

Dana Nachman

We could all use a little holiday cheer this year - so when director Dana Nachman came to us with the film, Dear Santa, we were thrilled to get involved! Centered around the hardworking folks at the USPS who spearhead the Dear Santa program, the film shines a light on all of the letters written to Santa and sent to the North Pole each year.

Letters to and from Santa

In addition to the hand-drawn effect of the opening credits, letters and texts to Santa, we did a number of other animated sequences, including the adorable Dutch Bunny sequence featured below.

Thanks to KTF Films and Dana Nachman for bringing this heart-warming story to us!
