Fat Dachshund Films
A tiny, irreverent little division of This 'n That Films.
We put together Fat Dachshund Films to explore our other creative avenues. While we intend to have This 'n That Films continue to create award winning documentaries that entertain and educate, Fat Dachshund Films is strictly for fun. We'll create projects here that don't fit into our mainstream catalog.

"THE SANTA TRUST is a wonderful Christmas story that while taking a look at the truth behind Santa, doesn’t negate the magic but rather reaffirms it as the figure of Santa becomes an ideal and therefore even more magical."
