The New Normal
‘The New Normal’ produced by Passion Pictures and directed by Anna Mantzaris, is a Christmas card reflecting on the impact the last two years of the pandemic have had on ourselves and our personal relationships.
The film features a young man, arriving home for Christmas with his family, awkwardly trying out various socially-distant greetings, before settling on a hug.
Passion has chosen to partner with the New Normal Charity for this years film, a charity that connects people through their grief and mental health.
