The short film, A Christmas Star, is a cute Christmas film about a boy in search of the perfect star (from the sky), for his Christmas tree, but is disappointed that all of the stars he finds are flawed. Just as he is about to give up, after destroying his tree when trying to pull the perfect star from the sky, he gets to see a bigger picture and a new perspective.

Short films and narrative writing are a PERFECT match. Students simply follow the film and provide the missing narration!
