The moment in the beginning, of her putting an ornament on the tree was the first scene I envisioned in the whole series. At that time there were no other characters but the Manning brothers and Jason (unfortunately he was there from the very beginning), so there was no reason for the previous scenes. The picture was so crystal clear and compelling I just had to find out more. But even then I had no idea where that idea would lead me to, and how much it would create.
That image sparked in my head last Christmas, and it might just be one of the best Christmas presents I ever received. It set me on a course that brought me to this place, to releasing these works and enjoying this success. And I couldn't be more thankful.
