Mill Creek Entertainment Sets Nov. 12 As The DVD Debut Date For Director Marco Deufemia's Dove Award-winning A Bluegrass Christmas

Mill Creek Entertainment is getting into the Christmas spirit with the early-in-the-season Nov. 12 DVD debut of director Marco Deufemia’s A Bluegrass Christmas. 

If you have music-lover on your Christmas list, or a romantic … or someone who enjoy wholesome family entertainment, then this Dove Approved winner will be the perfect stocking-stuffer!!

Singer, songwriter and actor, Amanda Jordan (Rush for Your Life, Holly Hobbie, Christmas in Maple Hills), stars as Katie Pendleton, a young woman who has devoted her life to caring for abandoned and injured horses at her “Fields of Blue” sanctuary.   It’s a touch-and-go operation that gets by with the help of horse racing enthusiast Jim Breckenridge (Mike Shara), who has placed one of his prized horses in her care.

He wants to race the horse and she says it is not ready.   That becomes a bone of contention and since Breckenridge doesn’t like to be told what not to do, he not only ignores her advice, but he also pulls his funding.

His son, Grant (David Pinard — Country Hearts Christmas, The Heiress of Christmas, May the Best Wedding Win), tries to intercede on Amanda’s behalf, but his father refuses to change his mind.   That puts Grant and Amanda on the same side … a mutual attraction begins to grow.

Meanwhile, Amanda turns to her famous grandfather, Ben (Shaun Johnston — best known as Jack Bartlett in the Heartland television series, plus such film as: In Plainview, Christmas in Big Sky Country, A Frosty Affair, etc.), a legendary Bluegrass recording artist for help.   He too says no … too painful, after losing his wife he turned his back and walked away from the music scene.   

His old band member step up and offer to help Amanda put together a Christmas-season benefit concert, but without a lead singer things look bleak.   It looks like “Fields of Blue” will be shutting down unless there’s a Christmas miracle!

We won’t give away the third act here, but we can say this much, A Bluegrass Christmas is a wonderful feel-good movie (a Dove Award-winner to boot) … and it comes loaded with a strong soundtrack featuring the likes of “Poor Wayfaring Stranger,” “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” “O Come All Ye Faithful” and more.

Be sure to check out Marco Deufemia’s A Bluegrass Christmas when it makes its DVD debut on Nov. 12 from Mill Creek Entertainment … the perfect stocking stuffer!!
