More Than Santa Baby

More Than Santa Baby is the story of the life and career of "Santa Baby" composer Philip Springer, my father. I wrote and directed this documentary to share my father's vast musical legacy and fascinating journey in the music industry from his start as a young man in 1940s Tin Pan Alley to 1970s Hollywood and through his most successful decade when he reached his 90s. I have long believed that my father's music beyond his worldwide classic Christmas song is much deserving of recognition. Philip's story is an entertaining walk through 20th century music that includes renowned performers and locations of the Golden Era and achievements in every decade of his life. Inspired by a vast catalog of beautiful melodies, recordings by iconic artists and my wish to memorialize my father's 75+ years in the music industry, I produced this moving story of perseverance, hope and resilience. The documentary is a daughter's tribute to her father and his music, a walk through a unique period in music history, a love letter to New York City and the Golden Age of song, a poignant display of the life cycle which shares a powerful message, "it is never too late".
