The Holiday Maker

7 min

After she can't financially afford to go on her dream holiday, a young woman named Emily decides to build a miniature model wonderland of her desired destinations. As Emily constructs her holiday in her kitchen using her model making talents, will her miniature creations fully emulate the real world locations she is unable to travel to?\nThe Holiday Maker is an amalgamation of 2D animation and miniature model sets, directed and animated by Harry G. Mead. While the film is a love letter to the art of model making, it was hugely inspired by multiple animated films, including the Wallace and Gromit shorts and Robert Zemeckis' Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Following the release of The Holiday Maker, Harry is currently in the process of his next animated project and has set up his new animated studio, Shed Thirty Six Productions.
