JorDey The Christmas Movie
Jordey is back and gets to experience the sights and sounds of the holiday season in his home and New York City. The movie is a follow up to Jordey's original short film, and this story would not be complete without another visit from his rival The Burglar who tries to steal all of the Christmas spirit from this cute and lovable dog. The movie was shot pre-pandemic in November/December 2019 and finally edited in 2023 right before Jordey's passing on September 6, 2023. Jordey is very much missed, but there couldn't be a better way to honor his memory than seeing him work his magic one more time in this Christmas film.
