Louisa May Alcott’s novel Little Women has been adapted for film nearly 10 times since it was published in 1868. This year, it’s got a reimagined Christmas twist in A Little Women’s Christmas under the direction of feel-good romance genre icon Brian Bird. Behind the scenes of projects like Touched by Angel, The Case for Christ and Hallmark phenomenon When Calls the Heart, Brian wants to tell stories that inspire but also address real human challenges.
In this conversation Brian talks about the roots of family division, mixing realism with cheesy ideals, and how Aussie Dean Geyer ended up in the movie.
