01Plot
The "Calendar Girl Killer" has been murdering a different girl in Philadelphia every month and sending their photos to the press in pin-up style poses. After a taunting letter to the press describing his future "Miss December", a waitress named Ari believes he has selected her and finds it flattering rather than horrifying and attempts to figure out who her "secret admirer" may be.
02Production
The story originated as a 2002 one-act play by Brody called Christmas Eve. It was later adapted into the 2006 short film titled Calendar Girl, before being adapted into the feature-length 2012 film, Miss December by Double Windsor Films.
