Media From the Heart by Ruth Hill

If you are a devoted Heartie like I am, you will probably remember season three of When Calls the Heart when the character Hattie made her inaugural appearance, and you might even remember your initial reactions to both the character and the actress who portrayed her. Imogen Tear, whom I had the opportunity to meet last month (November 2016) at the Joey Awards, […]

FOR A MORE UP-TO-DATE INTERVIEW WITH NIKKI, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY INTERVIEWS WITH HER HERE AND HERE! I find it quite intriguing that a year ago today, I shared my review of Nikki DeLoach’s first Christmas film for the Hallmark Channel (Christmas Land), and today I have the supreme joy of sharing with you a recent interview I […]

During the time I’ve been an interviewer (almost a year now), I have kept my eyes peeled for interviewers who do something rather unique in this realm, and I remember noticing this program called Get Cooking With the Stars.  More often than not, the show either featured people I had just featured on my site or those I hoped to eventually highlight, and I […]

As one who believes in highlighting all talent in TV and movies (and especially when it comes to Hallmark, my favorite network), I was immensely grateful to get the chance to ask Nina Weinman a few questions about her work behind-the-scenes.

I don’t believe I have missed a single “Countdown to Christmas” movie this year on the Hallmark Channel nor its sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. While I have my personal favorites, there is no denying that a massive hit this year was their film A Heavenly Christmas starring Eric McCormack, Kristin Davis, and the legendary Shirley MacClaine. My family and […]

In April of this year (2016), I had the supreme joy of attending the Artemis Film Festival in Beverly Hills, California. It was my very first film festival, and I am still working to promote films and filmmakers I discovered while there. And Justin Zimmerman happens to be one of them. I had the exquisite delight of watching SMART, and this […]

Anyone who follows my site and my twitter feed knows that one of my all-time favorite actors is Brennan Elliott, and in many ways, I have him to thank for bringing the enchanting Madison Brydges to my attention. He is the one who announced that she was portraying his daughter in the upcoming Hallmark film Love you Like Christmas, and I […]
