SYNOPSIS
“The Farmer and The Belle: Saving Santaland” is a funny Christmas movie for the family in the style of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Sparks fly between a famous model and a farmer with a young daughter when she visits her childhood home. The town is in danger of losing their beloved Santaland festival, but miracles can happen with a little love, family and faith.
“As 2020 draws to a close, we all need a film like THE FARMER AND THE BELLE,” said Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films. “The entire family will be entertained by this joyful film, and girls and women in particular will celebrate beauty that radiates from inside.”
Distributed by Vision Films, Inc., Mill Creek Entertainment and produced by Idealist-Gotzon Films in association with 2 Actors Productions, THE FARMER AND THE BELLE: SAVING SANTALAND features Jenn Gotzon (MY DADDY IS IN HEAVEN), Jim E. Chandler (AMC’S Lodge 49, Stranger Things), Corbin Bernsen (Major League), John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard), Natasha Bure (Home Sweet Home, Fuller House, The Voice), Delilah (nationally-syndicated radio host), Robert Amaya (COURAGEOUS, OCTOBER BABY) and introduces Adele Chandler.
“So much of the content we see during Christmas season misses the opportunity to show God’s perspective on true beauty that the Bible makes so clear,” said Jenn Gotzon, who stars in and produces the film. “Every person – women, men, girls and boys – needs to see that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are a treasured inheritance. It puts the focus of beauty on the heart and how we serve and love others.”
