 The movie “A Holiday
Homecoming” is a faith-based film about the
residents of Hope, New York. After a fire at the
St. Jerome's Home for Children, the residents
come together to help the displaced foster
children right before Christmas. Several
families find that what they thought was a
temporary situation is exactly what they needed
to make their home complete!
The film features actors such as Allison
Mullaney, Robert Levey II, Taryn Hacker, and Jon
Hacker. The picture is written and directed by
Candy Cain with Executive Producer Amy Minter
and Director of Photography Nelson Smith.
A Holiday Homecoming was released on Pure Flix
on November 15, but Gemelli Films is going to
host their theatrical premiere at Lincoln
College's Johnstons Center of Performing Arts
Mainstage Theater in Lincoln, IL in anticipation
of creating a faith-based Central Illinois Film
Hub. The evening will be filled with pictures in
front of the step & repeat banner, meeting some
of the cast and crew, walking the red carpet and
watching a terrific family film to get you in
the mood for Christmas.
Cain has also teamed up with the local
businesses in Central Illinois for this event.
The Lincoln Art Institute will be hosting a
Pre-Party from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and will
be offering a family-oriented atmosphere with
hot chocolate and cookies. Enjoy time talking
with the stars of the movie before the show
starts.
Idle Hour will host the premiere, “Adults-Only
After Party.” This will be a 21 and over event
and tickets will be sold at the door with a
limited number available.
Candy Cain, president and founder of Gemelli
Films, Inc. as well as an established writer and
director, has fallen in love with Central
Illinois. Her film “Baking Up Love” was produced
this past spring in Morton. Cain is currently
working on a new TV series, “Wrath and Rituals”,
that is filmed in Lincoln, Morton, Peoria, and
other parts of Illinois. Cain wants to develop a
Central Illinois Film Hub to grow the economy
and is currently looking for investors to make
her dream a reality.
