VIV Says: Blog

Fresh from rubbing shoulders with the teen idols in her April box office hits Hannah Montana: The Movie and 17 Again, March/April VIVmag cover model Melora Hardin has been hard at work promoting You, her directorial debut film. “It means a lot to me that there are people out there seeing me up on the big screen and giggling or just plain enjoying what I’m doing,” Hardin wrote recently on Twitter. “You the film is my passion project.”

Set for online release today on iTunes and Amazon, the movie is based on a script that Hardin’s husband, British actor/writer/producer Gildart Jackson, wrote in a record three days. As co-producers, the husband-and-wife team turned the film — about a man raising a child by himself — into a true labor of love, featuring Hardin’s parents, children and friends among the cast and crew. For a preview, check out this trailer.

We admire Hardin’s bold venture into online distribution — it’s very cutting edge! And we love reading her updates on Twitter. Do you tweet? If so, you can follow us here.
