SBS Belgium Picks up Candy Cain’s “Joy & Hope” for the 2020 Holiday Season
Brookhaven, NY, August 26, 2020 – Gemelli Films Incorporated announced the Christmas feature “Joy & Hope” will be released on SBS Television Network in Belgium beginning December 1st.
“Joy & Hope” stars Cody Calafiore (Big Brother), Ashley Brinkman (The Malibu Tapes), Alix Kermes (Gilmore Girls), Andrew Rogers (The Wrong Wedding Planner), Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day) and many other well-known actors.
This romantic drama tells the story of Ethan Dulane (Rogers), a novelist with writers’ block, who is sent to Two Sisters Ranch in Upstate New York by his publisher, Amanda Parkington (Fox). There, he meets sisters Joy and Hope McGregor (Kermes and Brinkman, respectively), who run the ranch with their father Frank (Stink Fisher, Gotham) and reliable ranch hand Gabe (Calafiore).
In due course, sparks fly between Ethan and Joy while Gabe and Hope finally admit their love for one another, healing from a traumatic event years ago. Of course, Ethan finds the inspiration he needs for his book.
“As a fellow European, I’m thrilled to see that Belgium has inked a deal for ‘Joy & Hope,’” says the French-American Rogers.
“I’m ecstatic that Joy & Hope will be released by SBS in Belgium,” agrees writer/director Candy Cain. “Gemelli Films has a very close connection with Belgium, as The 5AM, a Belgian rock band, had one of their songs on the short list for the Oscars in 2017 from being in my very first film, “What Happened Last Night.” I am so excited that this film is going to air in Belgium, just like the Belgian band was in the US. I feel like we’ve come full circle.”
