Here’s to the ones who dream! Long December is a character-driven drama that follows a struggling artist pursuing his dream of music during one December month. Channeling the spirit of singer/songwriter musicals like Once and A Star is Born — and embracing the melancholy hue of the holidays in America — Long December is a story about music, dreams and the heavy hopes we carry. The film features live, on-camera performances from noteworthy Americana music artists Jude Moses, John Mark McMillan, Margolnick and Sarah DeShields.
