Jen Lilley Says Film Championed Her as a Mom

On her official Facebook page, Lilley expressed her excitement over the movie. It just so happened to be penned by one of her favorite screenwriters. She also explained that Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday championed her as a mother,

“…this production really championed me as a working momma. I don’t believe in doing anything without excellence, so I was truthfully nervous about my first movie back postpartum. We began filming when Julie was just 8 weeks old, with a lot of all-night shoots, and I really wasn’t sure how it was going to go.”

Taking a ‘Shot’

She continued that she mentioned being interested in learning how to operate a camera. So, director Jonni Wright let her have a go at it! At first, she didn’t want to because she was worried about ruining the shot for her co-stars. However, actor Eric Close encouraged her to give it a shot. Now, she is really glad that she was given the opportunity.
