Last Christmas: The Holiday Short-Film Bringing Hope, Healing, and Faith to Grieving Hearts

Get ready for a holiday film with heart, humor, and healing! Last Christmas—directed by and starring Angel Wynn alongside Brandon Lee Ward—is the newest project from Halo Pictures, and it’s set to premiere this December with a story that hits home in the softest, most hopeful way.

The short film follows Joseph, a young man navigating the weight of grief during the holidays after losing his mother last Christmas. While the season can be joyful for many, Last Christmas intentionally shines a gentle light on those walking through loss, reminding viewers that God’s comfort can still break through the hardest days. The film blends emotional depth with warm, relatable moments and that signature Halo Pictures charm—light-hearted, honest, and quietly powerful.

Angel Wynn brings her heart to the screen both behind and in front of the camera, and together with Brandon Lee Ward, the duo delivers a story that reminds us that healing is possible, joy is still real, and no one is alone during the holidays.

At the heart of Last Christmas is Angel Wynn—founder of Halo Pictures, creative force behind The Wynn Network, and a woman whose journey in film began long before her name ever appeared on a screen. Angel stepped into the industry at just 18 years old, editing her first feature film John Wynn's Mirror Mirror and discovering a passion not only for storytelling, but for the power of visual ministry. Over the years, she has carved out her own lane as a director, editor, and producer, building The Wynn Network into a platform that amplifies meaningful, faith-centered stories. Halo Pictures is the cinematic extension of that vision—where Angel’s commitment to excellence, authenticity, and Kingdom impact meets her deep love for creative storytelling. With Last Christmas, she continues her mission to bring light to real-life challenges through honest, heartfelt filmmaking.
