Clare Kilner, who directed How To Deal and The Wedding Date, has been hit to direct 7 Star Pictures' Gideon's Gift, a film centered on the bestselling stirring novel by Karen Kingsbury.
Bill McAdams Jr and Grace McAdams wrote the script which follows a young girl, played by Emily Alyn Lind, who struggling for health reaches out to a homeless person and inspires a Christmas miracle.
This Christian feature is set to begin production May 11 in Salt Lake City. 7 Star founder John McAdams and Chester Semel will produce and Kate Maberly will co-produce.
Star kid Emily Alyn Lind, a daughter of actress Barbara Alyn Woods and director John Lind, an AMC's Ex- Emma Lavery has been a busy little girl since leaving All My Children. She also appeared in an episode of CBS's Flashpoint and y'all look out for her to be in an upcoming horror The Hounting in Georgia.
Gideon's Gift, by best selling Christian author, Karen Kingsbury, has been adapted into a Christmas classic, to not only fill the hearts of both young and old with the Christmas spirit of love, but even transform the most hardened of hearts. It unites a community of characters together to deliver happiness, magic and moments of passion, taking the viewer to another place in time….creating a holiday story of a man who has lost all hope, an disorderly child suffering from a terrifying illness and the one small act of faith and love that will give them both the greatest gift of all.
I hope you admire movies inspired by the Christian spirit, as it is certainly novel Gideon's Gift.
