Cameras began to roll this week in Toronto on Home Again (working title), a Muse Entertainment production in association with ABC Family.
The TV movie is scheduled to be completed in time for broadcast during the U.S. network’s annual countdown to Christmas campaign that starts in November.
It stars Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills, 90210, What I Like About You) and Cameron Mathison (Dancing with the Stars, All My Children) along with Mary Kay Place (The Big Chill, The West Wing).
The plot revolves around a high powered corporate workaholic for a retail conglomerate, who, on the eve of a holiday trip with girlfriends, is instead sent by her boss to open a new discount store in a sleepy small community that happens to be her home town. The trip causes her to confront her past and to re-evaluate her goals and ambitions.
Its exec producers are Muse’s Michael Prupas, Jonas Prupas and Greg Gugliotta and producer is Steve Solomos. Teleplay is by Michael Vickerman, and story by Vickerman and Ann Gunder. It is directed by Jerry Ciccoritti.
