Nutshells

Nutshells
A Brat From The Bayou
(2002)
Forget the bright-eyed sweetheart you've seen in Tchaikovsky's NUTCRACKER ballet - this Clara is a rampaging, candy-craving diva who shows that Cajuns just go nuts at Christmas. This year her Uncle Drosselmeyer has decided to take her out of the bayou and on a magical journey that will either change her life for the better or end it entirely.


Best Director - Outhouse Film Festival 2003
"Must Own DVD" - Pointe Magazine Oct/Nov 2003


"Travis H. Williams has, in 'Nutshells' crafted a movie with something for everyone . . . This movie is perfect for that really weird person on your list." - Smiley Anders, Advocate Columnist
