An independently financed holiday film, Christmas Down Under was filmed at some of Sydney’s most famous tourist destinations, including Bondi Beach and Circular Quay.
“Adam Horner, director of Ignite Pictures and producer of Christmas Down Under said, “This isn’t just your average Christmas movie. It’s contemporary and relevant to today’s society. With this being an independently produced film, we’ve been able to retain a level of creative authenticity and stay true to the story written by Leigh Scott.” – cinemaaustralia.com
