Mill Creek Entertainment announced this past week that the director Joanne Hock’s Dove-approved, faith-based romantic comedy, Heaven Sent, starring and scripted by Karen Abercrombie, will be making its DVD debut on May 09.
Elise (Abercrombie — War Room, Hope Lives, Found and Lifted) is a private person. Once, when she was a much younger woman, she had a promising singing career, but walked away from the fame and fortune to raise her son as a single mom. He exceled, but sadly, was killed on duty in Afghanistan.
Now, running a small “earth store” called Moxie, she has rededicated her life to raising her grandson Derek (Jemarcus Kilgore — Discarded Things). Elise endures; she has faith … but it is on a solitary path.
In a meet-cute moment, she finds Pastor Patrick Briggs (Leon Pridgen — The First Noel, Discard Things) taking refuge in her store (think: fish out of water) to avoid having to deal with Nadine (Vedra Grant), the sister of his deceased wife — she has it firmly fixed in her mind that he is the living connection to her sister.
Things work out between Patrick and Elise, and before you know it these two lonely people — who have both suffered major loses in their lives — find comfort in each other’s company. Heaven Sent, being a romantic comedy, will not make it easy for Elise and Patrick to find the happiness they deserve without raising a few complications … all well-meaning of course.
In other release news this past week from Mill Creek Entertainment, Apr. 11 will be the DVD debut date for director Brent Christy’s County Line: No Fear, the third film in the County Line series starring Tom Wopat as Sheriff Alden Rockwell, who is always trying to retire but there is always — ALWAYS — something that gets in the way of that plan!
If you’ll recall, County Line premiered in 2018 on the INSP network (on DVD in 2022) and proved to be so well received that two sequels were announced for future production. You can believe all the hype you want about such annoucements, but producers Doug Butts and Dale S. Ardizzone were true to their word with Wopat reprising his Sheriff Rockwell role in County Line: All In (also on DVD in 2022) and now the third film in the series, County Line: No Fear, is set for an Apr. 11 DVD debut.
Back for the third film in the series is four-time Emmy nominee Patricia Richardson (Best Actress, Comedy Series — as Jill Taylor on Home Improvement) as Maddie, the owner of the local café and Rockwell’s love interest. Plus, both Kelsey Crane (Breaking Through, Cardinal Matter) as Sheriff Porter, of neighboring York County, and Denim Richards (perhaps best known as Colby Mayfield in the Yellowstone television series) as Dante Hall, the new sheriff of Maksville County, are both back … it truly is old home week with lots of familiar faces.
Over in York County, Zed Dalton (played by Casper Van Dien), has decided to consolidate power — a ruthless criminal — and thus sets in motion a series of “hits” (professional killers) to accomplish his goal. Standing in the way is Sheriff Porter and so she is next on the “hit” list … Rockwell and Hall are simply not going to let that happen without an all-in fight.
Out-manned and out-gunned, these “local yokels” have a few tricks up their sleeves. Check it out on Apr. 11 with the debut of County Line: No Fear on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment.
