Festive Nutcrackers

Wednesday, December 11, 2019

Start off the countdown to Christmas with two scenes from Foxtrot Films’ Nutcracker Story.

Get the DVD here.

Nathan Lane & Nutcracker ‘The True Story’

I was so lucky to film on the set of Nutcracker -True Story and interview child star Elle Fanning and the legendary comic genius Nathan Lane (Angels in America), Richard E Grant and Julia Konchalovsky all on set together.

Gerald Scarfe – ENB Nutcracker

I loved watching brilliant cartoonist Gerald Scarfe create his inky drawings as I filmed, adding his uniquely wicked political dimension to the characters.
