Finn Conrad decides to take matters into his own hands to investigate a suspicious beneficiary following his father’s death. A nurse, who his father had known for less than 2 months, was left $50,000. Although it’s just before Christmas, Finn tracks down the woman, named Willa, to a bed and breakfast where she has recently taken over. He had expected the worst of Willa, assuming she had taken advantage of his father, however it turns out she’s not that bad afterall. But with Finn undercover, how will Willa feel when she eventually learns the truth about who he really is?
The O.C. star Autumn Reeser is set to play Willa, and she’ll be joined by David Haydn-Jones (The Last Kiss), who will presumably play Finn. Both actors are also known for roles on TV shows that film in Vancouver. Autumn appeared during the first season of E! series The Arrangement and David was seen in the previous season of Supernatural. Both shows also resume production in Vancouver this month. Hallmark fans will also recognize Autumn from Valentine Ever After, A Country Wedding, Midnight Masquerade and I Do I Do I Do. Also starring in the movie is Teryl Rothery.
A Bramble House Christmas will continue filming in Vancouver and British Columbia until July 28th. Update: A Bramble House Christmas will premiere on November 19th at 9pm on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel in the US.
Summer of ’84 (Feature)
Summer of ‘84 is a horror-thriller set in a small Massachusetts town in the year 1984. The story is centred around a 14 year old boy, named Davey, and his friends.

As their curiosity grows, they focus their attention on an officer with the local police department who they believe is, in fact, a serial killer.
Determined to uncover the truth about Mr. Mackey, the group invokes every means necessary to prove he’s guilty; including the odd stakeout. As the friends start to get close to a conclusion, they learn that Mr. Mackey is onto them and things take a dangerous turn for the worse.
