[edit] Plot
Shot in the mockumentary style, Stalking Santa follows Lloyd Darrow (Chris Clark) a self-proclaimed "Santologist," who has made it his life's mission - and obsession - to scientifically prove the existence of Santa Claus. It's an obsession that takes him from the hieroglyphics of Egypt to a Midwestern shopping mall at Christmastime, as his friends and family wonder whether he's lost his mind. Throughout this journey Darrow must also deal with his wife Barb (Lisa Clark), who supports him both emotionally and financially, the dysfunctional devotion from his intern Clarence (Daryn Tufts), and a growing resentment from his 12-year-old son Keith (Simon Taylor).
William Shatner is the film's unseen narrator and interviewer.
The film's tagline: "Millions of people believe in him. Thousands claim to have seen him. But only one man is foolish enough to try to prove his existence."
