Apples, Orchards & Romance on Great American Family

The new, original movie, Apples, Orchards & Romance is set to premiere during the annual Great American Autumn programming event. According to Deadline, the movie tells the story of a teacher, Drew Granger (Trevor Donovan) who takes a temporary substitute job in his old hometown of Chestnut Hollow, Texas.

While there, he meets Aiden, a new kid who is desperate to find a caring friend. While Drew would rather have taken a job anywhere else, he reconsiders that on meeting Lainie Abbott (Jessica Lowndes). Lainie is the new manager of Drew’s parents’ huge apple orchard and cider mill business. More importantly, she is Aiden’s mom.

Who is behind the Great American Autumn movie?

Riley Weston wrote the screenplay of the movie prior to the WGA strike. She is known for Hallmark movies like Good Morning Christmas!, The Nanny Express and Always and Forever.

Speaking to Deadline, Weston said she loves writing rom-coms for a number of reasons, adding, “First, I’m a diehard romantic who is still waiting for her own fairytale! Second I love bringing joy to people, whether through movies or music.” Riley continued, saying:

My hope is that a movie like this can take people out of their work week for two hours and give them a little getaway from reality. They always make me feel hopeful and I try to get that feeling spread to the viewers. It’s also so awesome when I get to write a movie for friends. Trevor and I have wanted to work on something for a while now and this was the perfect project.

Moreover, Apples, Orchards & Romance is executive-produced by Brad Krevoy, Jimmy Townsend, Amy Krell, Lorenzo Nardini, Trevor Donovan, Cara J. Russell, Susie Belzberg Krevoy, Kelly Martin, Jessica Lowndes and Don McCutcheon. Meanwhile, David Anselmo acts as a producer, James Mou and W. Michael Beard are supervising producers, and Victor St. Pierre is an associate producer. The movie is directed by Don McCutcheon.

Meanwhile, Apples, Orchards & Romance is one of two new Great American Family movies starring Donovan. He will also star in the upcoming holiday movie, Christmas by Chance.
