As Hallmark’s Chief Fan Officer for a year, I got to be in a Hallmark movie! My mom and I traveled to Europe to join the filming of Hallmark’s Love on the Danube movies! 
Being Hallmark’s Chief Fan Officer allowed me to experience making a movie in Europe! It was thrilling to see the filming of Love on the Danube, a fun show about a river cruise. I even had a small speaking role in Love on the Danube: Kissing Stars! It was a wonderful chance to see how they create the heartwarming stories we love. My mom came with me, and we enjoyed sailing on the beautiful Danube River, soaking in the lovely views like in Hallmark films. We spent ten days with the cast and crew filming Hallmark’s Love on the Danube movies. What an adventure! Peter Benson, the talented director of Hallmark’s “Love on the Danube: Kissing Stars,” made my day by giving me a part in this touching film. Every moment on set was enjoyable, and I made friends with the cast and crew who love storytelling just like I do. I appreciated these romantic stories even more after seeing the hard work behind them. Being part of the Hallmark movie world was a dream come true, and I will always treasure these memories. This experience deepened my love for Hallmark and helped me enjoy their magic in a new way!
The film Love on the Danube: Kissing Stars begins with characters boarding a beautiful cruise ship for the KissCon event, creating a magical mood. I was excited to be there as a fan, ready to enjoy the event. The atmosphere was lively as everyone, including the talented Catherine Disher from Good Witch, arrived. Standing behind Catherine, it felt surreal, sharing the excitement with many other fans as we embarked on this fun adventure.
I had a fantastic opportunity to see how my favorite Hallmark movies are created! It was fascinating to witness everyone’s hard work. From setting up scenes to directors and writers polishing the script, every detail is important in telling the story. The actors brought their roles to life while Hallmark producers reviewed footage daily to ensure clarity in their vision. It reminded me that making these films is a team effort, like a community working together to create something special! The atmosphere was warm, and I enjoyed sharing meals with the cast and crew in the dining area. We had a great time sharing jokes and stories, with the fun vibe of a Danube river cruise. Filming multiple movies at once added to the exciting energy. Conversations with Executive Producers and team members sparked new ideas and highlighted the heartwarming stories Hallmark is known for. The cast and crew, including popular Hallmark actors, were all very friendly, down-to-earth, and committed! This unforgettable experience strengthened my love for storytelling and revealed the enchanting magic of Hallmark movies!
