Ouchy the Reindeer
Feature length - Holiday Comedy
Logline: When a teen's reindeer accident goes viral, she's sentenced to mascot duty at a struggling Christmas tree lot — where two oddball coworkers and a grieving owner turn her humilating punishment into an unexpected found family.
"The script also delivers a number of enjoyable moments of levity and visual humour, using the mascot premise to generate playful set pieces that keep the tone buoyant and accessible... It's an idea that would be sure to attract an audience and stand alongside an array of holiday classics!"
