Writer/director Dick Jane's work leans towards the twisted. He first came to our attention a few years ago when 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 0 - Null, eins, zwei, drei, eins, null played at action fest and then again some time later with I Killed Santa, a short about a man so obsessed with Santa that he goes a bit crazy when the mall doesn't hire him for the holidays. I Killed Santa is slated for a future as a full length feature which is currently in pre-production (you can check out the title sequence here). [Continued ...]...

Santa can’t catch a break these days. It would seem that every other movie centered around the jolly ol’ bastard is dipped in violence, depravity, or a squishy combination of the two. Below you’ll find a trailer for director Dick Jane’s forthcoming Christmas outing “I Killed Santa”, a decidedly bizarre number about a mall Santa who, after being snubbed by his would-be employers, loses his milk-drinking, cookie-eating mind. The embedded clip is pretty freaking strange, though I more than a little intrigued by the premise. After all, nothing says Christmas quite like a little blood red carnage perpetrated by a severely unstable individual. Have fun!

Director Dick Jane made a bit of a splash last year when his film 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 0 - Null, eins, zwei, drei, eins, null played at Action Fest. The short about a woman struggling with the death of her husband at the hands of his lover, struck me with its intense visual style and innovative storytelling. The style of Jane's debut reminded me of Jonathan Caouette's Tarnation, an interesting approach that I hadn't seen replicated with much success but which services Jane's film well.
Since its premiere, Jane has been busy on a follow-up project and though I Killed Santa doesn't appear to be quite as dark as his first, there's still quite a load of edginess stirring the pot in this very colourful tale of a man obsessed with Santa that he goes a little crazy when the local mall doesn't rehire him for his yearly Santa gig.
