For the first time in three years, many of us are going to be able to visit our loved ones this Christmas, without Covid restrictions getting in the way. But sadly, that’s not the case for everyone. Recent research shows almost four million Brits are classed as chronically lonely – up from 2.6 million in 2020. To highlight the issue of loneliness this festive season, Wonderhood Studios is launching its annual Christmas film, this time reminding viewers that not everyone has someone and encouraging us all to look out for one another. The film was written by Sofie Saietz and Simone Weilborg of Wonderhood Studios and directed by Theo James Krekis of Knucklehead. It tells the story of a man who was too ashamed to admit he didn’t have anyone to spend Christmas day with, ending up in a web of lies as he makes up that he is hosting “the biggest festive do in the neighbourhood, ever.” In the short film, titled ‘Spot me’, an unexpected (and very muscley) stranger offers to lend a helping hand in preparations for the big day. As she gets him on her shoulders to hang up the Christmas lights and cracks open his nuts with her bare biceps, an unlikely friendship starts to form. However, we soon discover that there is in fact no festive do, and the man is due to spend Christmas alone. Deflated, he is about to head back to his empty house when his new companion magically reappears, offering to keep him company on Christmas Day. The film ends on the message “not everyone has someone” and a note to say Wonderhood Studios will be supporting Samaritans this Christmas in their fight against loneliness.
