‘Santa Girl’ debuts on Netflix Friday, November 1st. Director Blayne Weaver talks working with college students on the project, also having Barry Bostwick on set, the benefits of digital platforms like Netflix, what it takes to be an independent filmmaker, and being the voice of Peter Pan. Plus a surprise upcoming project (that comes towards the end of the interview).
Santa Girl synopsis: The only daughter of Santa Claus (Barry Bostwick “Spin City”) wants to experience the “real world” before she must marry the son of Jack Frost and take over the family business. Cassie Claus (Jennifer Stone “Wizards of Waverly Place”), along with her trusty elf, sets off to college while trying to keep her magic powers and famous father a secret. At school, Cassie is pursued by two boys: Sam (Devon Werkheiser “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide”) who is sweetly awkward and J.R., handsome and wealthy. As her impending arranged marriage looms, Cassie struggles with her feelings for Sam and her obligation to her father and to Christmas itself.
