The Ortiz family from Port Moody made a Christmas movie called 'Saving Christmas' which is now available on digital platforms and cable providers. Despite budget limitations, the family's passion and network in the film industry helped them achieve their goal.
Most families looking for a holiday season activity to do together might go to a tree lot to pick out their Christmas tree for the living room, or build a gingerbread house.Their production, Saving Christmas , is now available on digital platforms like iTunes, Vimeo, Amazon and Google Play as well as cable providers, Bell, Rogers and Shaw.
Their son, Ricardo, is an actor and she’d accompanied him to sets when he was younger so she knew her way around the business and had forged numerous contacts who could help guide them in the right direction. A small, heartfelt Christmas story seemed the best fit for the family’s skills, budget and Marcelo’s ambitions.
A scene in a grocery store had to be rewritten when an actual grocery store couldn’t be arranged at a price the production could afford.“Problems will come every day and you have to stay positive to find solutions.”But, said Luiza, the speed bumps created a kind of “brothers-in-arms” vibe on the set, pulled everyone closer together to find a way to see the project through to its conclusion.Post production of the film took the better part of a year.
