Elyse’s first produced feature-length project, WHO IS CHRISTMAS EVE, premiers November 21st, 2021 on BOUNCE. Elyse pitched, developed, and scripted the idea under a tight deadline to ensure a Holiday 2021 release.
Based on the life and career of investigative genealogist Pamela Slaton, WHO IS CHRISTMAS EVE follows photographer Eve Simons (Paige Hurd), on a journey to find her birth parents after she was abandoned as an infant on the steps of a local church. When her well-meaning boyfriend Chris (Romeo Miller) enlists Pam (Juliana Harkavy) to help find her birth parents before Christmas, Eve will have to grapple with the secrets of her past - and decide if she’s ready for answers to long-held questions. And with some advice from her adoptive brother Andy (Alex Wong), Eve realizes that the connections she’s been looking for her whole life might be closer than she thinks. A unique twist on the Christmas genre, Who Is Christmas Eve combines heartfelt holiday moments with a heart-pounding search, and introduces the world to a real-life detective dedicated to reuniting lost family members with their loved ones.
An original story based on true anecdotes from Pamela Slaton’s storied career, Who is Christmas Eve marks Elyse Endick’s feature debut as a screenwriter.
