I had a blast talking with Director and Writer of "A Newport Christmas" Dustin Rikert. We dig into what makes this movie so unexpected — from its non-traditional story flow to the emotional love triangle that feels straight out of The Notebook. And, we talk about what it’s like collaborating again with Ginna Claire Mason and Wes Brown.Dustin takes us behind the scenes of filming in Newport and Buffalo, recreating grand mansions, and even building a boat on a sound stage. With breathtaking costumes, detailed production design, and a timeless theme of choosing between past and present love, A Newport Christmas promises to stand apart from the typical holiday formula. 🎧 Watch or listen now to hear why Dustin calls this one “a love story worth remembering.”#hallmark #podcast #christmas
