MR. CHRISTMAS (2012) Short Film: Bruce Mertz’s 50K XMas Lights Doc

Mr. Christmas Short Film. Nick Palmer‘s Mr. Christmas (2012) short film documentary stars Bruce Mertz and Randy Riel. Mr. Christmas‘ plot synopsis: “Every Christmas, Bruce Mertz lights up the neighborhood with the 50,000 lights covering his house. For decades he’s obsessively added to his display, creating beautiful, towering fixtures that people travel across the country to see. In this offbeat, touching portrait, we learn what drives him, and discover how a kid who grew up on a farm with no electricity became Mr. Christmas.”
