Producer Kevin Duda wrote a long post on Instagram in honor of the movie.
He wrote, in part: “…Once-in-a-while, I get to see a movie to the finish line that came from my brain (usually after a glass of wine.) For these, I get to work with incredible development execs at the network, passionate writers and then see the movie through from prep to post. That is the story of BECAUSE OF CUPID, which airs this Saturday, February 14th at 8pm on Hallmark Channel. From dreaming up this story, building on it with Amy Meyerson, having the wonderful Elise Speiser see its potential, collaborating with Sarah Montana’s clever wit, teaming up with the OG Ashley Squires, Larry Grimaldi and the Neshama family & crew (Vinuja, Jordana, Vanessa, Mitch & more), to working with my fave Liz Farrer and a cast of dreams including Evan Roderick, Amy Groening, Adam Tsekhman, Tenille Read, Darryl Hinds, Ric Waugh, Sarah Booth, JT Silver. It’s more than I could ask. I hope you all love this movie as much as I do. And that you all believe a little magic can happen when you follow your heart.”
Tennille Read shared some behind-the-scenes moments as well.
And here are some photos from Darryl Hinds:
Adam Tsekhman shared a video of “the Cupid shuffle.”
