Last year, I procured an interview that substantially altered my outlook on TV and films. Until I spoke with Kyle Hester, I was utterly clueless about independent films or crowdfunding–I didn’t even know the term “indie film.” As far as I was concerned, Hollywood made the films, and I paid the money to go see them, and they earned the “big […]

I actually have Rachel Boston to thank for bringing the talented designer, Peggy Li, to my attention. I noticed Rachel tweeted during the premiere of A Rose For Christmas about her jewelry being provided by Peggy Li Creations, and since I had never had the opportunity to interview a jewelry designer, I jumped at the chance. Recently, Peggy graciously agreed to […]

As long as I live, I am certain I will never tire of being that Hallmark viewer (or any network, for that matter) who pays attention to the credits at the beginning and the end of a show or film and attempts to recognize as many actors as possible within the work I am watching. Yes, I admit to “living” […]

Thanks to Jane Moffat, I discovered a wonderful show last year called Backstage TV, and from the moment I watched it, I was hooked. As I began to examine the people involved with the show, I discovered a wealth of talent of which I was previously unaware, and one of those people happens to be Kate Hewlett. This is a woman […]

Hallmark viewers sometimes genuinely connect with supporting actors that are featured regularly in the network’s films, and it just so happens that David Lewis is one of those fortunate guys. Although he never seems to play a lead nor get the girl, he has made a living by playing the supporting roles and doing a crackerjack job of it. Recently, […]

If you follow faith-based films, you’re probably familiar with the film Fireproof. In many ways, that film was a game-changer in this genre, and it just so happens that Erin Bethea made her feature film debut in the lead role opposite Kirk Cameron. Since that time, Erin has had quite a career, and she has now released the first film she […]

As a novice interviewer, I had the remarkable opportunity to interview the man who is responsible for bringing to life one of the most amazing shows on TV today–When Calls the Heart.  Of course, I speak of the talented, benevolent and humble Brian Bird. I was incredibly honored that he afforded me the opportunity yet again this year to ask […]

Almost a year ago now, I learned of a fantastic musical film called High Strung, and because of my friendship with director Michael Damian, I have come in contact with some wonderful people. It just so happens that Karen Gronsky is one of those people, and while she is not a “celebrity” in the traditional sense, she is an amazing woman […]

I cannot say this enough. Because of my devotion to the Hallmark network, I am regularly introduced to such a wide variety of exceptional actors that I may not notice otherwise. As a result, I research these actors and often discover their other works, and that is exactly how I happened upon Tasya Teles. From seeing and reviewing her work on Autumn […]

This past summer, when I had time to investigate upcoming shows for this season, I happened upon a show that captured my attention–Time After Time. At that point, not much was written about it, but I discovered that one of the directors and executive producers was a man by the name of Marcos Siega. He quickly agreed to an interview […]
