Mr. 365 (2018)

In the vibrant world of reality television, Sophia Worthy, a promising documentary filmmaking graduate, steps into her new role as a producer at Super Real Productions. Despite her lack of enthusiasm for the holiday spirit, she finds herself tasked with saving the premiere episode of "Extreme Holidays," set to air on Christmas Eve. The original story idea falls through, prompting her boss, Paul Rivera, to propose an unconventional new subject - a thirty-three-year-old scenic designer, Will Saunders. Renowned for his year-round Christmas-themed house, Will is an intriguing character in his quaint town. His festive fervor has led to a court injunction by a less merry neighbor, preventing him from exterior decorations until Thanksgiving. Sophia, expecting to meet a festive fanatic, is pleasantly surprised to find Will's Christmas obsession rooted in sincere goodwill. He even employs Hank, a temporarily homeless man, to help around his house, showcasing his charitable spirit. Sophia skillfully convinces a skeptical Will to be the star of their Christmas episode, veiling her own disinterest in Christmas and men, a result of a bitter break-up. Meanwhile, Will admits to being attracted to Sophia, setting the stage for a behind-the-scenes romance that breaches the ethical code of dating the talent. As their relationship blossoms, Sophia finds herself torn between presenting Will's genuine kindness and fulfilling her boss's demand for sensational television. Paul Rivera's vision includes exploiting Will's good looks and portraying him as a madly obsessed Christmas enthusiast, much to Will's chagrin. Sophia's career and their clandestine romance hang in the balance. Will's regret over signing the contract and a distasteful promotional campaign further complicate matters, leading him to sever ties with Sophia. In the end, Sophia must find a way to apologize and present Will in the sincere light he deserves, creating an authentic portrait that aligns with the spirit of Christmas. Will she manage to stay true to her heart while navigating the cutthroat world of reality television? In the heartwarming tale of Mr. 365, the magic of Christmas intertwines with the harsh reality of showbiz, creating a captivating narrative of love, betrayal, and redemption.
