Calendar shots and stills – the book brought to life at last
November 14, 2009
Will (somebody scrape me off the floor)
Late last night, after a slightly crappy day and half-a-bottle of wine, I looked on the Lifetime movie website and found they’d posted all the calendar shots and lots of movie stills from 12 Men of Christmas/Decent Exposure.
It’s so great to see the story and characters you imagined in your head and lived with day in, day out for months and years, come to Techicolour life. I stayed up until two am, looking at the pictures. I really hadn’t though that any of my ideas or story would remain, because a movie is a movie and a book is a book but it seems I might be surprised.
All 12 shots from the calendar are on the Lifetime site and lots more movie stills, but here are a few. if you’ve read the book, I hope you recognise them.

I love it. It’s so exciting to go on this journey with you – well obviously from a distance, etc – but it’s been fascinating to read about the process, and I’m thrilled the film seems so true to your original story.
