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.
