And, as for UPtv's latest premiere, I always enjoy a lighthearted romantic comedy.

*UPDATE: An Anonymous commenter below has shared this may not be a PixL movie based on where it is filming - so please know, we do not officially know where this one will be seen, yet. I received my information directly from IMDB - the Internet Movie Database, which does currently list this movie as a PixL TV Movie on their site. Also, the anonymous commenter mentioned the production company is a Canadian Company. They are exactly right - it is Lighthouse Pictures, and upon checking their other films, it looks like they produce mostly movies for the Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and Lifetime. So... Please keep a close eye here and stay tuned for more details on 'The Mechanics of Love'.

*UPDATE #2 (July, 2016): I have just learned from Anderson W., that Lighthouse Pictures has made a movie for PixL. They produced the newest PixL original movie 'Twist of Fate'. Anderson discovered this interesting news when watching the new movie recently. Lighthouse Pictures is shown at the beginning of the film and Larry Levinson's name is featured at the end.

Anderson was also so thoughtful to include these fantastic screen-shots:

Please note... whether, 'Mechanics of Love', ends up on PixL or Hallmark, is still unknown, however this certainly proves it could end up anywhere!

*UPDATE #3 (May 23, 2017): This movie - 'Mechanics of Love' - will premiere on PixL, after all! The premiere date is June 3, 2017! (Thank you, Gina, for sharing this news!)



‘Hopeless Romantic’ - click here for details!

credit: Thank you Gina for the wonderful pics for 'Late Bloomer' and 'Sisters of the Groom' and all the wonderful PixL movie information, including summaries for 'Groomzilla', 'Brimming with Love', 'Love on the Vines,' and updated info on 'Mechanics of Love.' And, thank you Sherry for your reminders on Jack Wagner in 'Love on the Vines', and Shenae Grimes Beech in 'Mechanics of Love.' I was excited to find these on-the-set pics!


These ALL look like some fun Made-for-TV movies - stay tuned for premiere dates!
