Christmas at the Ranch
Christmas at the Ranch tells the story of a high-powered executive who reluctantly returns to the family ranch. This executive, played by Lindsay Wagner, finds herself in a world quite different from her high-stress corporate life.

It’s a perfect image of the magic of the holiday season and the unexpected places where love can be found.
Merry & Gay
In Merry & Gay, Becca, played by Dia Frampton, wraps up her role as a Broadway star in New York City. Now it’s time to head back to her quaint Tennessee hometown for the holidays. What she doesn’t expect is the well-intentioned meddling of her mother and her best friend. They’ve been plotting to reunite Becca with Sam, her childhood pal and high school sweetheart. This film is a journey of rediscovering love, friendship, and the charm of a small-town Christmas. Notably, this movie showcases Andi René Christensen. They are one of the first non-binary actors to star in a lead role in a holiday romcom!
I Hate New Year’s
I Hate New Year’s takes you on a journey with Layne Price, played by Dia Frampton. She’s been struggling with writer’s block as a rising music star.

This will make her New Year’s Eve anything but ordinary. Layne, accompanied by her best friend Cassie, embarks on a night of adventure and self-discovery in Nashville. As they navigate the vibrant New Year’s Eve celebrations, Layne is determined to reconnect with her elusive ex.
