🎬 Great American Media to Film Over 20 New Movies and Original Series in the USA

Exciting news for all of us fans of family-friendly movies! Deadline announced today that Great American Media is teaming up with legendary producer Robert Halmi to create over 20 new films and series! And what's even better? They’ll be filming here in the United States, starting with the studio’s production hub in Buffalo, New York!

This new partnership brings together two powerhouses in family entertainment: Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media (and formerly the Hallmark Channel), and Robert Halmi, a producer of over 400 film and television projects, founder of the Hallmark Channel, and the visionary behind Great Point Studios. Together, they're setting out to produce uplifting content centered around faith, family, and traditional values!

Their first movie, A Christmas Spark starring Mario Lopez, wrapped earlier this year in Buffalo and will be part of GAF’s upcoming holiday lineup. Mario shared how meaningful this project was to him, especially since it honors firefighters and was inspired by his own real-life experiences during the LA wildfires.

I don’t know about you, but I love hearing that these kinds of movies are being made right here at home. There’s something extra special about knowing these films are being filmed in real American towns- with beautiful local scenery and plenty of hometown heart.

This is just the beginning, too! More productions are planned for Great Point Studios locations across the U.S., including Yonkers, Atlanta, and even a new studio being built in Newark, NJ. It’s exciting to see the growing investment in family content and even more exciting that it's happening on American soil.

Bring on the cozy scenes, holiday charm, and inspiring stories... I can’t wait to see what they create next!

Stay tuned for more movie news!
