Media From the Heart by Ruth Hill

In the past year or so, the Hallmark Channel has featured three sweet romances (Love on the Sidelines, Summer Love, A Dash of Love) that are either written or co-written by a dynamic sister duo writing team, Sandra and Judith Berg. In some ways, a screenwriting team is almost like a throwback to the cinema greats of yesteryear. Recently, I […]

Because Appetite For Love holds such a treasured place in my heart (I got to interview both male leads–Andrew Walker and Marcus Rosner–and they were kind enough to let a novice feature them), I often find myself going back to my review of that film and attempting to connect with the supporting cast of that momentous film. In the case of […]

If you love sweet romances (PG-rating), look no further than Rachelle Ayala’s Have a Hart series. The Harts are a family of San Francisco firefighters. Their family motto is: Heart comes first. Former fireman Larry Davison covers his burn scars well, by working at an elementary school as a custodian where he finds a lost hound dog behind the dumpster. […]

Christmas is long past.  Snowstorms blanket the country. Doom and Gloom Reign Supreme. Valentine’s Day is practically upon us, but with the world in shambles and bad news constantly at our fingertips, how can one get into the spirit of the season? It’s not like we have an Orphan Annie or a Shirley Temple to tell us that everything is […]

A few months ago, I interviewed several different actors and industry professionals who recommended a series called The Man in the High Castle. Because I have Amazon Prime, I had seen this series advertised, but I had no idea whatsoever what it was about nor anything else concerning it. I gave the first episode a watch, and I was greatly intrigued. […]

Yet again I can thank last year’s foray to the Artemis Film Festival for introducing me to a spectacular female actress and filmmaker, Nicole Alonso. I was so pleased when Nicole agreed (and patiently waited for my schedule to settle down) to answer a few questions about her origins within the entertainment industry as well as the film trilogy about […]

Over the year or so that I have been interviewing actors, I have discovered so many remarkably gifted and exceptionally grounded young people in the industry. Chatting with them and featuring them on my site is always something special, and Lizzie White is no exception. While I am new to her talent, she and I recently discussed how she got started […]

Recently divorced and heartbroken, Tess finds herself abandoned at a bar on a night out. There she encounters the eccentric and rich Peter – a man cursed with the condition of heightened sensory perception and desperately searching for a moment’s peace. The two instantly fall in love and withdraw to Peter’s apartment for a lengthy and addicting love affair. Days […]

In the saturated world of entertainment today, it is vital to an actor’s career to find the thing that sets them apart and causes them to be memorable. I have been noticing the work of Chelah Horsdal for some time, and in anticipation of her soon-to-be-released film CANDiLAND that I was privileged to screen, I was quite honored that in spite of her insanely […]

As a proponent of indie films and enterprising actors, there is practically nothing better than for me to have the opportunity to discover actors with whom I was previously unfamiliar. In the case of James Clayton, when I screened CANDiLAND, that was my first exposure to this amazing industry professional. Recently, James agreed to answer a few questions concerning his entrance into the […]
