Description

POLAR OPPOSITION is an edgy re-envisioning of Christmas lore in the spirit of a film such as ELF. The story follows the plight of the worker-class elves as they become the target of the ire of the two-faced wizard, Glazier. The writer does an interesting job with mashing up fantasy elements and Christmas lore with the more practical socio-economic realities Santa Claus' operation. The strongest aspects of the screenplay are the premise and its refreshing take on the Christmas world. The story is well-conceived and the structure demonstrates the writer’s solid ability to maintain the plot’s focus where it may have easily floundered.
