It's about a man who drives around on Christmas eve with his father looking for replacement gifts after realizing he forgot his son's presents, according to IMDB. The director is Englishman Tristram Shapeero.

The set is in the Smoke Rise neighborhood and started filming early on Tuesday morning. A house with 1970s architecture is being used for principal photography for the next three weeks.

The house belongs to Tucker lawyer Richard Foxworth, who told Patch: "They were just looking for a '70s-built, split-level house. We had received a flyer from a location scout and verified that the movie was for real and the house met their needs. They have completely re-decorated the house to fit the time period."

Patch asked him about the disruption the shoot has caused him.
