April 2, 2014
Production began this week in Chilliwack, outside of Vancouver, Canada on the UP Original Movie Match Made In Heaven, a fun, uplifting romantic comedy starring Samaire Armstrong (“Resurrection,” “The O.C.”) as a senior minister at a crossroads both professionally and in her love life.
The ensemble cast also includes Brendan Penny, singer-songwriter LeToya Luckett, Gabrielle Rose, Bill Dow, Kevin O’Grady, Jody Thompson and Leanne Lapp.
Match Made In Heaven is produced by Front Street Pictures’ Harvey Kahn (UP’s Far From Home, UP’s upcoming Christmas Tree Farm) and executive produced by Michael M. Scott and Libby Beers. Scott (UP’s Far From Home, UP’s upcoming Apple Mortgage Cake) also directs the film from an adapted script by Cara J. Russell. The film is based on Beth Pattillo’s acclaimed novel, “Heavens to Betsy.” Match Made In Heaven will premiere later this year on UP.
Life would be perfect for Reverend Casey Hart (Samaire Armstrong) if it weren’t for her leaking baptistery and the match-making parishioners who steal money from the collection box and don’t believe a woman should be a minister. Not to mention Casey is flustered by the sudden, inconvenient feelings she has developed for her long-time friend, fellow seminarian and verbal sparring partner, Reverend David Swenson (Brenden Penny). It isn’t until Casey is thrust into the position of senior minister for her church that she discovers the real cause for her discontent – her fear of failing might be stronger than her faith in herself. With a little help from her other best friend and seminarian Ronnie Mason (LeToya Luckett), can Casey reclaim her confidence while reconciling her clerical robe with high heels and the right shade of lipstick? A fun-loving look at a single girl’s life on the other side of the altar, Match Made In Heaven is also a hilarious and joyful celebration of strong, stylish, and faithful womanhood.
