The synopsis for tonight’s movie reads: “Host of a New England web series, Abby is set to launch her own line of home products. All she needs is a few more authentically northeastern webisodes and the deal is done. But Abby’s roots are actually in Texas, and now she must return to her dad’s ranch to help him. Surprised to find her former boyfriend Ryan is the ranch manager, Abby is soon swept up in their old chemistry. Torn between her Texas roots and her New England aspirations, Abby must decide where she belongs – with work in the northeast, or deep in the heart of Texas.”
‘A Feeling of Home’ Was Filmed in Canada, Not Texas
Much of A Feeling of Home (originally called Feels Like Home and The Heart of Texas while filming) may take place in Texas but it was actually filmed in Canada, including Vancouver and Fort Langley. But it’s still a delightful and heartwarming movie.
Richard Gabai, the movie’s director, shared some photos from the set in Vancouver when it was filming in March and April.
One part of the movie you might just love is all the animals, including an adorable calf who stole hearts of the cast and crew.
Parsons also shared some photos from the set.
Here are some more behind-the-scenes photos.
Some scenes were also filmed in Aldergrove, British Columbia, according to Gabai’s Facebook post.
