Aml Ameen makes director debut with UK’s first Black Christmas rom-com.

Ameen says his directorial debut “Boxing Day” is different from other festive films: it is the first British Christmas rom-com led by a majority Black cast. 

He plays Los Angeles-based British author Melvin, who returns to his London home for Christmas to introduce his American fiancée Lisa to his British-Caribbean family.
