Candace Cameron Bure Stars in GAF Movie ‘A Christmas Less Traveled’ for 2024

The post Finally Announced, Christmas in July from Great American Family 2024 – Don’t Miss These Bonus Fun Facts About the Cast appeared first on TV Movie Vaults.

Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great American Media, couldn’t be more thrilled about the film’s Bluegrass debut. “It is a joy to have produced the beautiful motion picture, ‘Mr. Manhattan,’ down in the Bluegrass,” he said. Abbott praised Kentucky for its generous incentives and skilled crews, hinting at more filmmaking ventures in the state’s future. “The state built on bourbon and horse racing can now add filmmaking to its achievements,” he added, making it clear that Kentucky is becoming a new hotspot for cinematic magic.

In “Mr. Manhattan,” audiences will follow the journey of Mason Bradley, played by Carlos PenaVega, who promises to be the godfather to his brother’s newborn son while balancing his own ambitious career plans. Alexa PenaVega stars as Dani, Mason’s fiancée, who faces a shock when Mason is accepted to Columbia Law School. Fast forward ten years, and Mason is living the high life in New York City, only to have his world turned upside down by a devastating call that forces him to reevaluate his priorities. It’s a heartfelt narrative that promises to tug at the heartstrings and keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Brady Nasfell, the producer of “Mr. Manhattan,” expressed deep gratitude for the local support that made filming in Kentucky possible. “We’re especially thankful for the incredible local support from VisitLEX and Asbury University,” Nasfell said. He also highlighted Kentucky’s competitive film incentive program as a key factor in bringing this production to life. The collaboration with Asbury University proved particularly fruitful, with over 25 students, faculty, and staff contributing their talents to the project.

One of those talented individuals, recent Asbury M.F.A. graduate Ali Stiefel, reflected on her experience working on the film. “‘Mr. Manhattan’ opened a world of possibilities that I didn’t even know existed in the film industry,” Stiefel shared. This hands-on experience has equipped her with the skills to pursue her own creative projects, a testament to the powerful impact of this local collaboration.

The premiere event, kicked off at 5:45 p.m. EST, was an unforgettable evening for all attendees. The film screening will began at 7:30 p.m., and with limited tickets available, it’s an opportunity not to be missed. Fans eager to catch the movie from home can look forward to its streaming release on Great American Pure Flix the very next day, May 23, at 8 p.m. ET.

So, mark your calendars and prepare for a night of Hollywood glamour right here in Kentucky! Whether you’re walking the red carpet in Lexington or streaming from your couch, “Mr. Manhattan” is set to be an unforgettable cinematic experience. Grab your popcorn, secure your tickets, and join in the celebration of a film that brings big city dreams to the heart of the Bluegrass.

Who Was Mallory Beach?

Mallory was born on April 18, 1999 and was the daughter of Phillip Beach and Renee Beach.  During her time at school, she was a star player on the soccer team.  In her spare time, she enjoyed hunting and had aspirations to become an interior designer.

What Happened to Mallory?

Mallory and her boyfriend Anthony were out with Paul and a few friends when they all got on a boat late at night on February 24, 2019. It was reported that a very drunken Paul was driving the boat when it crashed in Beaufort, South Carolina.

Anthony and Mallory were thrown overboard into the dark waters at nearly 2:17am. Anthony survived the crash but unfortunately Mallory did not. Nearly 10 days after the crash, two volunteers found her body down the river. The cause of death was determined to be drowning and blunt force trauma.

In a Netflix documentary, Anthony Cook, Mallory’s boyfriend spoke out. He recounted how he considered taking an Uber home with Mallory but decided against it. They were already with all of their friends and didn’t want to leave them behind.

Anthony recalled how intense things were getting on the boat. He said Paul Murdaugh was arguing with one of their friends and ended up putting the boat on at full speed. Anthony grabbed Mallory and put her in his lap to protect her. Unfortunately the boat’s speed was too much and the three passengers; Paul, Anthony and Mallory were all ejected from the boat into the dark waters.

Anthony and Paul were able to swim to the surface. Unfortunately Mallory drowned in the water.

The post Are Theo and Kim from Destined 2 Married In Real Life? appeared first on TV Movie Vaults.

In the Lifetime movie, Meagan Good and Roger Cross portray parents Dana and Curtis. When their 16 year old daughter named Alicia, played by Faith Wright sneaks out of the house to go to an end of school party, the unthinkable happens. Alicia might have been rebelling a bit in order to go to the party, however when she decides to leave the party and head home early, she is swiftly kidnapped right off the street by an unsuspecting woman.

How Was She Kidnapped?

You may believe this can only be made for TV, but sadly this is an actual true story. It is speculated that “Buying My Daughter Back” is based off the true life events of Kubiiki Pride and her daughter. In April 2009, Kubiiki’s daughter was targeted by a female trafficker who brought her into a life of terror.

The female trafficker spotted Pride’s daughter walking down the street as she was leaving the school party and offered her a ride. This is when she was held against her will and brought to a horror house – literally.

How Did Her Mother Find Her?

In order to sell her, Kubiiki’s daughter’s photos were posted on a website called Backpage by her trafficker. They were explicit. This is how her mom discovered what happened – 9 months after her daughter disappeared without a trace.

What is Her Daughter’s Name?

Kubiiki Pride’s daughter’s name cannot be divulged but the family is from Atlanta, Georgia.

In court documents, her daughter went by the initials MA.  She never even imagined she would become one of the over 150,000 people who fall victim to human trafficking in the US.

MA is portrayed as Alicia in the Lifetime movie.  Alicia plays a 16 year old high school student, though we learned the real MA was only embarking on her teen years, as she was 13 years old when taken into human trafficking.

Her mother had to take the reigns on the search efforts.  It may have taken 9 grueling months to locate her daughter, but nothing stops a mother’s love and determination.

She told The Sun, “I use Backpage, and my husband was like, they have an escort section on there too.” She continued, “And then I opened it and there was my little girl.”

Upon discovering her daughter, Pride contacted the police but was transferred to another department.  Desperate to accelerate efforts, she took matters into her own hands.  She decided to call her trafficker to book her daughter.

How Was She Rescued?

Her mom still remembers when her daughter stepped off of the train.  “She just fell on the ground and started crying,” referring to her daughter’s reaction.  It had been almost one year since she was kidnapped so her mom said, “she had lost so much weight – it had been almost a year and she was taller.”

Getting MA home was just the beginning of the recovery journey.  Nobody quite knew just how deep her wounds were.  Upon coming home, MA’s mom discovered that her hair had been shaven off, and she had several bruises all over her body in addition to stab wounds.  It didn’t stop there.  She sadly was also addicted to drugs after being raped repeatedly.  

Life After Being Trafficked

Her mother knew that her daughter needed professional help after being through such a horrible ordeal in her life.  MA was in and out of hospitals over the next year.  She even attempted to run away a few times. The trauma continues as she struggles to live a normal life going to school and work.  “She sleeps at odd times because she still has nightmares,” the mother told The Sun.

The family attempted to sue Backpage for continuing to keep MA’s photos live on their website but lost that battle in court.  The website was found to not be liable for content posted by users.
