Canadian actor and producer Marcus Rosner chatted about his two “Christmas in July” Hallmark movies.
‘Falling Like Snowflakes’
In “Falling Like Snowflakes,” an artist and photographer Teagan (played by Rebecca Dalton) is determined to complete her exhibit by capturing a rare photo of a 12-sided snowflake, and she enlists the help of a childhood friend; they go on a mission that they’ll never forget.
Rosner shared that “Falling Like Snowflakes” premiered on Saturday in the United States, and it is coming out in Canada on Saturday while “Ice Palace Romance” will be the last one that they show. “I will be bookending Hallmark’s ‘Christmas in July,’ which is nice,” he said.
‘An Ice Palace Romance’
In “An Ice Palace Romance,” a journalist Lori (Celeste Desjardins) faces old fears when she returns to her hometown ice rink to cover a story. With the help of the owner Mark Johnson (Marcus Rosner) and his young daughter, she begins to reevaluate her life’s purpose.
“Last Christmas, they put ‘An Ice Palace Romance’ on their streamer, Hallmark Movies Now,” he said. “This will be the first time it is shown on the big cable network. I believe ‘An Ice Palace Romance’ will get its TV premiere.”
Rosner on his forthcoming indie films
On his upcoming indie projects, he shared, “We did two Christmas movies with Northern Gateway Films, where one of them starred me and Emma Johnson and that is called ‘Christmas in Alaska,’ which will premiere on Lifetime this holiday season.”
“The other one we made is ‘Dear Christmas Hearts,’ which stars myself and Brittany Bristow,” he added.
Working with his wife as a producing partner
On collaborating with his wife, Ali, he remarked, “My wife is a producer too, where she produces all the films that we make on Northern Gateway Films alongside our team.”
“We have been producing together for a number of years now. Ali also produces documentaries primarily and I have dragged her into doing scripted content a couple of years ago,” he elaborated.
“We wanted to work together, and now she splits her time between doing documentaries and scripted movies now,” he added.
New thriller for Lifetime
Speaking of Lifetime, he revealed that he is about to produce a thriller for Lifetime, which they will be shooting right away in Alberta, Canada.
Favorite mottos to live by
His favorite mottos to live by are to “be kind and to work hard.”
Closing thoughts on the ‘Christmas in July’ movies
For fans and viewers, Rosner stated, “I hope these movies give fans and viewers the escapism that everybody looks for in these kinds of projects.”
“It is just feel-good content and a chance to step outside of the growing cynicism of the world that we live in today,” he concluded.
