EP. 1461: Filmmakers Luke Marley & Taylor Taberner (Jake & Pete’s Christmas Special)

Jake & Pete’s Christmas Special, 20min., UK Directed by Luke Marley When the spirit of Christmas seems to have left a small town in Gloucestershire, Jake and Pete must find a way to restore it in time for Christmas. https://www.instagram.com/jakeandpeteshortfilm/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? So, I did my first short using this art style Henry VIII and it was brutal and I swore to never do stop motion again, then eventually I thought about doing something that really felt character driven, and it had been a few years since Taylor and I have worked together on a project. So I asked if he wanted to work on something and we came up with a Christmas film. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? So, we were thrilled. I think before hand we hadn’t really seen any thoughts on the film or anything. So we’re not sure if people liked the plot or the joke landed. So I think it was great to know that it all worked out in the end.
