    I saw an article somewhere that pointed out the Hallmark movie formula is targeted at empty nester mom’s with daughters. It’s their fantasy that their daughter, who has left home to find fulfillment in a career will come back home and fall in love with a local boy, realize that moving to the city was a mistake, and settle down in their home town (near their mother).

    Kinda sad when you realize that’s why they’re so successful.

      They should make one about a woman who’s an executive in renewable energy. She lives in a small town with her boyfriend who’s an agriculture executive. Their hectic jobs require them to live near their most important projects.

      She goes home to Seattle for Christmas where she visits her parents in their downtown penthouse. She encounters her flannel-clad, highschool boyfriend, who she thinks is still a barista, but it turns out he owns his own coffee chain. He was just covering a shift for one of his employees who’s a single mother and had an emergency. He’s good to his employees that way. Obviously, we don’t learn most of that until the end.

      Her Mom urges her to maintain the small-town life she worked so hard for, but flannel man teaches everyone the meaning of Christmas and a choir of children sing carols as credits roll.

    I built a notifier for new movie releases for myself and there are so many of these movies. One would think the market is saturated by now, but apparently there are enough people who enjoy this kind of content for the never ending onslaught.

      There is an audience for it, sure, but I can’t imagine it’s big enough to sustain the sheer number of these clones getting produced. It’s gotta be some kinda money laundering scheme, no?

        They are really cheap to produce. And there are right wing Christian investment funds behind a lot of them. They don’t need to make money on them, it’s a form of propaganda.

        They’re super cheap, but also they serve a purpose. B-movies are a great start for upcoming directors, videographers, production designers, etc. You may have an assistant director from biger projects you want to promote, but since they’ve only worked under others you don’t want to let them potentially fuck up on a big production. Give them a disposable Christmas TV movie to test their ability to run a set on their own.

      Yes! I planned to make for my wife a library of christmas movies, each year adding new releases. But very soon I realized my naivity because there are so! Many! Of them! Every single year there are like 50 new releases of copy-paste romantic commedies
