Perhaps when you think about Christmas, you don't think about exploding houses, murdered elves, or even tracking devices inside of briefcases. Yet, from its humble beginnings at that suburban fast-food chain restaurant, Vendetta has embodied what the holidays are all about. What's more in the spirit of the season than creating something beautiful with those you care for? Jonathan Field and Brendan and Sean Smith have given something back to the world - something wonderful that we can now share with our own loved ones year after year. Maybe this is all a bit of a stretch and I'm grasping at something that isn't there, but as far as I'm concerned, there's room next to that plate of cookies and glass of milk for a nice big machine gun. Don't worry, Santa... I'll make sure it's loaded.
Vendetta: A Christmas Story is available in MOV format at vendettachristmas.com. You can also receive a DVD copy by sending the creators a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
