Hallmark and Great American Family: A Shared Mission
Candace Cameron Bure began her career on the Hallmark channel and has now expanded to make movies for Great American Family. Despite the different outlets, her goal remains consistent. She values the fact that the Great American Family viewership wants more than just a love story. They are eager to see films that incorporate faith in God and the reason for the season. This shared mission allows her to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
Christ was born to pay the price for our sins and sacrifice Himself on the cross. He is the Savior of the world and the ultimate gift. Bure believes that incorporating these themes into her movies is not only important but also powerful. It gives viewers a sense of hope and joy during the holiday season.
Her most recent movie, "A CHRISTMAS LESS TRAVELED", premiered earlier this month and received high ratings from Movieguide®. The movie has a strong Christian, moral worldview and beautifully weaves a story of forgiveness and healing. The authentic performances by Candace Cameron Bure, Eric Johnson, and the rest of the cast balance the humorous and heartfelt moments in the script. It also has uplifting themes of prayer, repentance, and forgiveness. A small chapel plays a significant role in the story's resolution, adding to its spiritual significance.
"A CHRISTMAS LESS TRAVELED": Weaving a Tale of Forgiveness
In "A CHRISTMAS LESS TRAVELED", faith plays a crucial role. As Bure explained, there are little seeds of forgiveness planted along the way. The character of Desi learns the importance of forgiveness, which is a powerful message that resonates with viewers. It reminds them that just as God has forgiven us, we should also be willing to forgive others.
The movie's story is not only about forgiveness but also about healing. It shows how forgiveness can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. The combination of humor and heartfelt moments makes it a truly enjoyable and meaningful Christmas movie.
Another of Bure's projects is "HOME SWEET CHRISTMAS" starring Cameron Mathison. In this movie, Sophie, a lawyer, returns home after inheriting part of a maple forest from her uncle. She reconnects with Sam, her childhood friend who co-owns the property, sparking new possibilities. This story showcases the importance of family and the power of home during the holiday season.
