Von Piglet Productions will shoot scenes for their film Ira Finkelstein's Christmas in West Seattle later this month. According to the Beach Drive Blog, neighbors have been notified of the upcoming shoot.

The film stars Elliott Gould, Cynthia Geary and Tony Doupe and is directed by Sue Corcoran.

Susan LaSalle, Head of Production and Producer on the film shared this synopsis of the plot:

Ira J. Finkelstein is obsessed with Christmas. He's seen every Christmas movie ever made and his dreams are filled with reindeer, sleigh rides and SNOW. The problem? Ira's Jewish - and at 11 years old, Christmas is passing him by. When Ira's hopes for a holiday vacation in Aspen are dashed, he hatches a plan to finally get the Christmas of his dreams. Flying unaccompanied to visit his grandparents in Florida, he swaps tickets with Mikey, another 11-year-old on his way to Christmastown, WA . Ira gets more than he bargained for when he experiences his first "White Christmas".
