Good afternoon & Happy Winter Solstice! Here it is folks- Hazel Tree Pictures/Country Star Productions Christmas short film 'The Yard' shot entirely on location at the Yard Garden/Cafe here in sunny Moseley! The film is dedicated to my dear friend Neil Kulkarni whom we suddenly lost earlier this year. You can hear his beautiful vocals on the closing track 'We can't spoil Christmas ' by The Moonbears ❤️ I consider myself an ally of the LGBTQIA community and felt they were underrepresented when it came to Christmas films. This is us making amends. I'm sure Neil would have approved. Huge thanks to the team behind this! You're ALL beautiful! Love & light to you all! Merry Christmas 🎄 🌈

Afternoon all. Here it is folks! Hazel Tree Pictures 'The Beauty of It' short film. Enjoy ALL glorious 9 mins & 54 seconds of it! My first directed film was a real trial by fire BUT with the assistance of a tremendous team WE pulled it off with flying colours! HUGE thanks to EVERYONE who made it possible. Each frame, each second and each music beat was carefully composed to create a pop art, 1960s, Peter Sellers, Britt Ekland, Bardot homage! Love it! Share it! Enjoy it!
Merry Christmas!
