"Everything went really well during the first shoot day, the boys’ performances were excellent and we had a fantastic response from the local community," he said. "Neighbours were brilliant and all decorated their homes and helped to facilitate the shoot."

The crews are set to be in the area over the next few days filming more festive scenes. Then the film will be edited in America.

It is likely to be premiered at film festivals in spring next year.
