Here’s another family-friendly original movie airing on UPtv
later this week, Far From Home,
starring Barry Watson (“7th Heaven,” “Gossip Girl”) and Stefanie von
Pfetten (“Cracked,” “NCIS”).
Watson plays Nicholas Bell, author of Broken Windows—a successful novel that birthed Bell’s reputation as
the new voice of his generation. But fifteen years later, it was still Nick’s only novel. Something had cut off his creative
juices?
Nick found himself reluctantly returning to his hometown in
Marrow Island for the funeral of his Uncle Charley whom he’d not seen nor
spoken to in fifteen years. As if returning to the place wasn’t painful enough,
he also learns that he has inherited part of its history – his uncle’s newspaper,
The Beacon. But Nick wants nothing to do with it. He wants nothing to do with
any part of Marrow Island – something he makes clear to attractive and
assertive local attorney, Libby Wainscott (Stefanie von Pfetten).
Read my full review of Far From Home in The Examiner. It will also appear in Assist News Service.
