Plot
[edit]The "Calendar Girl Killer" has been murdering a different girl in Philadelphia every month and sending their photos to the press in pin-up style poses. After a taunting letter to the press describing his future "Miss December", a waitress named Ari believes he has selected her and finds it flattering rather than horrifying and attempts to figure out who her "secret admirer" may be.[4]
Production
[edit]The story originated as a 2002 one-act play by Brody called Christmas Eve.[citation needed][2] It was later adapted into the 2006 short film titled Calendar Girl,[citation needed][2] before being adapted into the feature-length 2012 film, Miss December by Double Windsor Films.
