Press Release via Great American Media -

COMPANY CEO JOINS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND STAR OF THE FILM TO HOST SPECIAL RED-CARPET SCREENING FOR MILITARY MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AT JBLM IN WASHINGTON STATE

JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, SEATTLE, Nov. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Great American Family President and CEO Bill Abbott joined Chief Creative Officer Candace Cameron Bure to host a very special world premiere of My Christmas Hero exclusively for U.S. service men and women and their families yesterday. This special showing was held at Joint Army and Air Force Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington state, where the film is set.

"We truly enjoyed the opportunity to salute these real Christmas heroes at the premiere of My Christmas Hero on the joint base," said Bure, who plays Dr. Nicole Ramsey in the movie. "It was fitting to host this screening here at JBLM because that's where the movie's story is set."

The red-carpet screening was held Wednesday, November 15 on the McChord (Air Force) side of JBLM—the base portrayed in My Christmas Hero. Bure stars in and is an executive producer of the new movie. Bure's co-star, Gabriel Hogan, was also in attendance. This event follows a recent announcement that Great American Family has experienced eleven consecutive months of growth making it TV's fastest-growing network.

"Great American Media provides quality family-friendly programming that celebrates faith, family and country, and our unique partnership with Candy Rock allows us to produce best in class content. To be able to celebrate Christmas and this movie with the everyday heroes who selflessly serve our country was truly special for both Candace and me," said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media. "My Christmas Hero is at the heart of who we are as a network."

My Christmas Hero is the story of a U.S. Army reservist on a mission to honor a special fallen soldier and bring much-needed healing to her family. Along the way, Dr. Ramsey (Bure) and Major Ross (Gabriel Hogan) may find more than the answers to the mystery!

My Christmas Hero premieres on Great American Family the day after Thanksgiving, at 8 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. CST Friday, November 24. You can find a full list and schedule of Great American Christmas movies at https://www.greatamericanfamily.com.

The Latest TV News and Updates Around the Web...

heavy.com recently shared this wonderful article titled: "Danica McKellar Has ‘Miraculous’ Faith Experience After Visiting Candace Bure." In the article, they share what Danica has expressed via social media after visiting Candace's church. Danica openly shared (with teary eyes, at times) that she's... "experiencing a relationship with God and Jesus that I’ve never had before."

The article goes on to say that "McKellar posted an Instagram video on April 24, sharing that for most of her life, she was skeptical of Christianity because of the hypocrisy that she saw in the faith. But she said she’s starting to see things in a different light..."

They go on to share in even greater detail in the article of what Danica has shared with her followers via Instagram regarding her faith, forgiveness, and this new journey, even adding in the heartfelt responses of encouragement she received from her fellow GAC Family and Hallmark friends.

I was truly touched by Danica's words as she begins her walk with The Lord. I pray this is just the beginning for and her family.

You can read the full article - *here*. (I think many of you here will really enjoy it!)

On Tuesday, April 26th, The Hollywood Reporter shared this article, which may or not affect the production of TV movies in Canada...

"Directors Guild of Canada B.C. Issues Strike Notice to American Producers."

Here is a portion of the article:

"The Directors Guild of Canada’s British Columbia branch has issued a formal strike notice to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and its local counterpart, the Canadian Media Producers Association.

The announcement follows the B.C. union’s first-ever strike authorization vote, where members voted 92.2 percent in favor of striking on local U.S. film and TV sets if talks with North American producers did not reach a new collective deal.

The B.C. union has to wait 72 hours following the strike notice to begin labor action, with any production not covered by a safe harbor agreement becoming subject to possible picket lines. It’s understood that most productions currently shooting in British Columbia have signed safe harbor agreements and, with compliance, will be protected from any potential labor action."

Hopefully, this will not disrupt production too much, especially if many of the networks are preparing for their Christmas films. This is another great reason why these American companies should film here in the states and support our country.

If you're interested, you can read the full article - *here*.

Speaking of striking deals... in case you missed it, 2 more actresses recently signed contracts with Hallmark, Taylor Cole ("Making Spirits Bright") and Aimee Teegarden ("My Christmas Family Tree"). Are you excited to see these two actresses continue to work with the Hallmark network?

Aimee has a new movie coming up in May on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries titled "Heart of the Matter," in which she portrays a doctor.

See more info on Taylor Cole's deal with Hallmark *here* and Aimee Teegarden's deal - *here*!

UPtv's Saturday Movie Premiere - Love, Alaska

Saturday, October 25, 2019:

Love, Alaska

Storyline via UPtv: When a young doctor inherits her uncle’s practice in her small home-town of Love, Alaska, she returns there to find something things are the same; like the town’s annual Love festival, and some things have changed; like her childhood friend Finn who has grown into a handsome, if not troubled, man.

See the premiere of Love, Alaska

Saturday, October 25, 2019

at 7pm/6c. on UPtv

Encore Airing: Saturday Oct. 26 at 10:57pm/9:57c.

*Please Note: This in not a Christmas movie. The main character, Finn, struggles with PTSD after returning home from his military service. Due to this sensitive storyline, this film may not be suitable for young children.

I hope this movie will be helpful to those who have served our country and also deal with Post Traumatic Stress. I personally don't consider it to be a disorder. It is that person's feelings, and I pray with love and help from family, friends, or a furry friend, they will overcome it.

God bless our Military. As a daughter of a veteran, I am grateful for those who have served and those who serve today. Please know, although I do not know your name, YOU are always in my prayers.

Blessings to you all, Net

I pray for all the families who endured loss on that day of September 11th and for those who have lost loved ones - soldiers, fighting for our freedom ever since.

As we remember this dark time, be a Light to someone Today! Let us love one another!
