Why ‘Much About Love’ Makes Ashley Williams ‘So Proud’
Taking to Instagram, Williams was thrilled to promote her new movie. She shared the trailer for “Much About Love” along with a lengthy caption, revealing that the movie had a very personal meaning for the actress.
“I wrote this movie with my husband. There may or may not be Easter eggs all over it that only he and I know. 😉😉😉 After college, I went to Williamstown theater festival and I’ll never forget it. It was that Sleepaway Camp for grown-ups kind of feel, where we were spending our time putting on plays in repertory, but the real story was going on behind the scenes,” she stated.
Williams added that all these years later she gets to tell her stories from that special time in her life with her “Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater?” co-star. The actress made it clear that this was a film not to be missed before giving her husband, Neal Dodson, a shout-out.
“Special thanks to Neal Dodson, my writing and producing partner who I also happen to have two children with. This one was a ride and I can’t wait for people to see it! Airing August 29 on @hallmarkchannel @officiallyniallmatter @muse_entertainment @oneidazissou @wtfestival I’m so proud of this one and I can’t wait to share it with you,” Williams expressed.
Several familiar faces showed up in the comments to sing Williams’ praises. “I can’t wait for this!!!” replied “Mistletoe Murders” star Sarah Drew. “Hope Valley: 1874” star Bethany Joy Lenz chimed in to say, “Such a cuuuute idea!!!!”
Great American Family stars Danica McKellar and Cindy Busby gushed over Williams and the new film. Fans also let Williams know they can’t wait to see “Much About Love.”
