Press Release via Great American Media:

DANICA MCKELLAR AND TREVOR DONOVAN

STAR IN NEW ORIGINAL MOVIE,

‘GROUNDED,’

ADAPTED FROM BESTSELLING NOVEL

BY ANGELA CORRELL,

WRITTEN BY ANDREA CANNING

NEW YORK, NY – November 14, 2024 – Great American Media, the leader in high-quality faith and family linear and streaming entertainment, announces production has wrapped on Original movie, Grounded, starring Danica McKellar (A Cinderella Christmas Ball, Swing Into Romance) and Trevor Donovan (Jingle Bell Princess, Harvest Homecoming), adapted from the bestselling novel of the same name by Angela Correll and written by Andrea Canning (“Dateline,” Love On the Danube), Alex Wright, and Cara J. Russell. The World Premiere of Grounded is slated for Spring 2025.

In Grounded, Annie (McKellar), a career flight attendant who loves her job and traveling the world, is dealt a blow when an airlines merger causes her to be furloughed, a setback further compounded by breaking up with a selfish boyfriend. Looking for a reprieve, Annie drives from Manhattan to her grandmother’s Kentucky farm. After a few character-building days, life on the farm ultimately brings Annie unexpected blessings in the form of rediscovering her faith, and reconnecting with her handsome childhood friend, Jake (Donovan), who has just moved back from the big city to create a more grounded and intentional life for himself.

“The Commonwealth is a great production partner,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “The infrastructure, including historic locations, build ready sites, and a rich legacy of industrious professionals at every level of production makes Kentucky one of the best states in the country to make movies,” Abbott concluded.

“This movie is guaranteed to lift spirits! And it’s extra special to me because it’s my first project where faith plays a central role,” said McKellar.

Grounded is Trevor Donovan’s fourth film shot in Kentucky. “I’ve really enjoyed working here, and I’m hoping we can make it a regular thing because the state has so much to offer filmmakers,” Donovan said.

Executive producers of Grounded are Angela Correll, Jess Correll, Danica McKellar, Trevor Donovan, Ernie Barbarash, Cara J. Russell, and Garrett VanDusen. Producers are Brad Krevoy and Amy Krell on behalf of MPCA, and Emily Blevins. Associate producer is Henry Peterson. Grounded is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Angela Correll. Teleplay by Andrea Canning, Alex Wright., and Cara J. Russell. McKellar is repped by Matt Sherman Management and attorney Dave Ryan. Donovan is repped by Michael Yanni.

My Quick Take:

This is such wonderful news today from Great American Media! A few weeks back, Danica and Trevor shared a fun, quick video of the two of them dancing together, and everyone on social media wondered if they were working on something together.

Then, Trevor revealed shortly after, just before he left to film When Hope Calls (which is also premiering next year on Great American Family), that he had just filmed something!

So... now we officially know what they were filming! And I must say, it sounds terrific!

First, I love the fact that they filmed this movie in Kentucky! Yay! I'm all for filming in the good old USA, and Kentucky is such a beautiful state that holds a special place in my heart due to family connections there.

Also, I'm thrilled that this movie will be filled with faith! We need more inspirational films in our world today, and it's a blessing to know Great American Family is creating more of them!

'Mr. Manhattan' 

Premieres at The Kentucky Theatre 

with Celebrity Attendees

Stars Carlos PenaVega and Alexa PenaVega Attend Screening Released by Great American Pure Flix

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Great American Pure Flix announces Carlos PenaVega ("Spy Kids," Big Time Rush) and Alexa PenaVega ("Spy Kids," "The Casagrandes Movie") will attend the world premiere of the original motion picture, "Mr. Manhattan" on May 22, 2024, in the film's shoot location of Lexington, Kentucky.

The exclusive premiere will include a 600-person screening of the film at The Kentucky Theatre, presented by VisitLEX, along with a red-carpet experience, and VIP attendees including cast and crew of the film, as well as members from Asbury University.

"It is a joy to have produced the beautiful motion picture, 'Mr. Manhattan,' down in the Bluegrass," said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. "Kentucky has great incentives and well-trained crews. The state built on bourbon and horse racing can now add filmmaking to its achievements and Great American Media has plans to be back in the state soon working on more original films in the near future," Abbott concluded.

In "Mr. Manhattan," Mason Bradley (Carlos PenaVega) makes a promise to his brother and sister-in-law to be godfather to their newborn son. Mason has exciting news of his own: he's just been accepted to Columbia Law School, which comes as a shock to his fiancé, Dani (Alexa PenaVega). Ten years on, Mason is surrounded by big city life and obsessed with becoming partner in his firm. Just when Mason feels personal success is at hand, he receives an unimaginable call, and his priorities are rapidly shifted in the face of a devastating life event.

"We're especially thankful for the incredible local support from VisitLEX and Asbury University. It wouldn't have been possible to shoot the film in Kentucky without their help, as well as Kentucky's competitive film incentive program.," said Brady Nasfell, producer of "Mr. Manhattan."

"Mr. Manhattan" is executive produced by Michael Scott, Jeffrey Peterson, David A. R. White, Kendall Baldwin, and Jim Ameduri. Producer is Brady Nasfell. Brian Herzlinger directs from an original screenplay by Andrea Nasfell.

Located in Wilmore, Kentucky, Asbury University provided integral production resources and film crew through its School of Communication Arts, including more than 25 students, faculty and staff who worked alongside the teams in central Kentucky and New York, N.Y. Recent Asbury M.F.A. graduate Ali Stiefel served as an office production assistant on the new movie.

"'Mr. Manhattan' opened a world of possibilities that I didn't even know existed in the film industry," Stiefel said. "I'm producing my own show this summer, and the knowledge I gained from working on set alongside the creators of 'Mr. Manhattan' equipped me with the skills to keep creating on my own, right here in Kentucky."

The event is set to be held from 5:45 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST, with the film beginning at 7:30 p.m., and limited tickets can be secured at https://bit.ly/mrmanhattanticket. "Mr. Manhattan" will be available to stream on Great American Pure Flix on Thursday, May 23 at 8 p.m. ET.

In Case You Missed It: Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott recently had a sit-down interview with NewsNation host Adrienne Bankert during her 'One Nation Under God' segment. I personally enjoyed how their discussion delved into the strategy behind what Great American Family is creating for their viewers and what drives their mission in creating these films.

During the interview, Abbott expressed, "I think people are ready and looking for alternatives, because the dark (referring to the film entertainment industry) has gotten so dark..."

When asked what the best part of launching this network (Great American Family) was, Bill Abbott responded, "I think it is really leaning into faith overtly, and not just having it bolt on - not just having a cross on as a decorative piece on someone, or just a church, somebody going to church. I think it's an intentional celebration of faith, an intentional celebration of family, and of country..."

I’m so excited to develop projects I’m passionate about and bring fantastic scripts to life with incredibly talented writers, directors, and actors. I’m extremely grateful to have a network that believes in me and my creative vision. I’ve been eager to push for more rom-coms since it’s what I grew up watching so getting a chance to work in that genre feels very close to my heart and I look forward to finding timeless stories to share with everyone. And anyone that knows me understands how much I adore Christmas movies so I’m exuberant to continue making those as well."

My personal favorite movie starring Jillian Murray is Prescription for Love with Trevor Donovan. It is such a fun one, and I look forward to watching it every time it replays on Great American Family.

Happy movie-watching!

🌟The Last Sunday of Advent with Danica McKellar🌟

The Last Sunday of Advent fell on Christmas Eve, and even though I didn't get the chance to share it with you all on that day, I didn't want the Christmas season to end without including it here.

The fourth Sunday of Advent celebrates God's faithfulness and love in sending Jesus Christ.

Great American Pure Flix recently posted this inspiring Advent Devotional (below) with actress Danica McKellar (A Royal Date for Christmas, Crown for Christmas). 

In the final week of Advent, Danica McKellar dives into Philippians to talk about how we can experience true joy...

Recently, in an interview with TBN, alongside Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott, Danica freely shared with exuberant joy how she discovered her faith in Jesus when her friend and fellow actress Candace Cameron Bure invited her to Easter services at her church in April of 2022. The Passion Play was performed that Sunday and the whole experience awakened Danica's spirit to discover her faith. This year, she shared how she is reading (or listening to, in this case) the entire Bible with the podcast “The Bible Recap.”

As we reflect back on the Christmas season, we rejoice together that God sent His Son, Jesus, as a newborn baby to ultimately be our Savior!

God Bless you all 

 during this Holy Christmas Season!

BREAKING NEWS! ACTOR CAMERON MATHISON INKS MULTI-PICTURE DEAL WITH GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY

Great American Media dropped some exciting news on this Thanksgiving week, and I know many Great American Family viewers are going to be thankful! 

Cameron Mathison, star of A Kindhearted Christmas and A Merry Christmas Wish has signed a deal with Great American Media to create multiple movies with the network.

My mind is already spinning with all sorts of possibilities. Will Cameron star in a new rom-com or mystery? And of course, he must have a new Christmas movie next year, as he was greatly missed this year; although, I do love seeing encore airings of his previous holiday movies with the channel.

This is truly wonderful news, and I couldn't wait to share it with all of you! Could Cameron Mathison be co-starring with one of the ladies in the Great American Family promo image above? Lori Loughlin? Candace Cameron Bure? Or, perhaps, Danica McKellar? He and Danica have worked together before in Very, Very Valentine, so it is a possibility that the two may work together again. We'll see!


Here is the official PRESS RELEASE via Great American Media:

PURE FLIX AND GREAT AMERICAN MEDIA TO MERGE

Hey, movie friends! Have you heard the latest entertainment news involving Great American Media that was released on Thursday afternoon? Pure Flix (the streaming service) will be merging with Great American Media!

I've had a subscription with Pure Flix for a couple years, and I've watched some excellent faith-filled and inspirational films through their streaming service. However, even with all the hits I've seen, I've also seen some misses, too, but that's to be expected.

Pure Flix offers religious and family-friendly movies and TV series for streaming, so I believe Great American Media's original films and programming will be an ideal fit.

See all the details below...


Press Release:

PURE FLIX 

AND 

GREAT AMERICAN MEDIA 

TO MERGE

Sony Pictures’ Faith and Family Streaming Service to Join Forces with Great American Media’s Portfolio of Family-Friendly Cable and FAST Channels to Serve Growing Audiences

Culver City, CA and New York, NY – May 11, 2023 – Pure Flix, a leading faith and family streaming platform owned by Sony Pictures Television, and Great American Media, home to a growing portfolio of family-friendly media brands, today announced the signing of an agreement to merge the two companies. Pure Flix will become part of the merged company, with Great American Media contributing two cable networks (Great American Family and Great American Living) and a FAST channel (Great American Adventures). Great American Media will retain a majority interest in the merged company and will oversee day-to-day management of the independent organization.

Great American Media President and CEO, Bill Abbott, will serve as CEO of the merged entity, reporting to the company’s board of directors. The new company will build on the multi-faceted, multi-channel family and faith media brands in the portfolio. Closing of the deal is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Pure Flix and Great American Media share the same mission to serve and delight consumers in the family and faith categories. Combining the power of Great American Media’s linear networks and FAST channel with Pure Flix’s SVOD service and vast content library will provide an opportunity for each platform to reach a larger and broader audience. Bringing the brands together into one entity will immediately establish the company as a leader in the genres.

“In a media environment where programming and distribution business models are in a constant state of flux, this agreement provides a rare opportunity to maximize our potential with the expertise, market knowledge and content creation capabilities of a world class partner like Sony Pictures,” said Abbott. “This merger will allow us to further our commitment to original, quality content and makes Great American Media and Pure Flix leaders in a large and under-served market.”

“Family-friendly entertainment remains an important segment of the industry, and merging these two entities will create the greatest opportunity to achieve more scale for Pure Flix as it continues to build its subscriber base,” said Ravi Ahuja, Chairman of Global Television Studios and Corporate Development for Sony Pictures. “Bill and the Great American Media team have been successfully leading the Great American Family and Great American Living brands, and we believe they have a winning plan to take Pure Flix to even greater heights.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

SPT acquired Pure Flix in December 2020. The service provides faith and family-friendly movies and TV series to its ~1M subscribers in the U.S. and Canada.

Featuring original Christmas movies, rom-coms and classic series that celebrate faith, family and country, Great American Family is currently in ~50M homes and is carried by all major cable providers. Great American Family recently closed out First Quarter 2023 as the fastest-growing network on TV for the second consecutive quarter.
