Sarina Bellissimo of SPIN chatted with Aml Ameen about his new Christmas film festival day.

In addition, he also talked about the feeling of working with his co-star Leigh-Anne Pinnock of Little Mix.

Before we start that interview, you might be wondering what Boxing Day is.

Well, it tells the story of British writer Ameen (Ameen) who lives in the United States returning to London for vacation and introducing his American fiancé (Aja Naomi King) to his quirky British Caribbean family.

Their relationship was put to the test because she discovered that the world Melvin left behind revolved around his ex-girlfriend (Pinnock), who is now an international pop star.

This film is not only Aml's directorial debut, but also Leigh-Anne's feature film debut.

Sarina asked him what it was like to work with Little Mix pop music, and he talked to her endlessly.

"Leigh-Anne took off her socks. It was like taking off her socks appropriately during the making of this movie."

Aml continued, “She provided the performance of the actors, she did it, and she was first very, very focused on craftsmanship.”

"She is a very hard worker, and I understand the reason for her success."

"I like everything she did in the movie. She is great, and my supporting role is outstanding..."
