When Angels Sing – they already describe this movie as a life-affirming story for all ages, so I guess that one short preview of the whole thing won’t hurt. The movie comes from director Tim McCanlies, it stars Harry Connick Jr. and Connie Britton in the leading roles, and is also one of the films that will premiere at this year’s SXSW (which runs from March 8 – 17). Take a look, and let us know what you think!
Tim McCanlies directed the movie from a script written by Lou Berney, which centers on a man named Michael Walker who struggles to make peace with his past so that he and his son may experience the joy of Christmas again.
As a child, Michael Walker wished every day could be Christmas. That is, until a tragic accident crushed his holiday spirit. Thirty years later, Michael still can’t muster any joy for the holidays, despite encouragement from his playful wife and well-intentioned parents. But when his young son faces a tragedy, Michael needs to make amends with his past. A mysterious man named Nick gives Michael a gift and instills in him the courage to find the joy that he lost.
When Angels Sing stars Harry Conick Jr. as Michael, Conne Britton as his wife and Chandler Canterbury as their son, while the rest of the cast also includes Kris Kristofferson, Fionnula Flanagan and Willie Nelson.
