I'm so sorry -- I hope you can figure out a way to see it because it is well worth it
It was recorded right after all.
I skipped to the very last minute of the recording and it was showing the credits, then was starting a rerun of another movie. Whew!
Not sure when I will get around to binge watching the rest of the season. I have become obsessed with watching a genre of
YouTube videos called international SILENT vlogs. the first one was a YouTube recommendation. I watched it and fell in love with this style of videos.
In American YouTube videos, there of course, is the "star" of the video. She makes sure we know who she is because she starts the video, front and center with a closeup of herself and then chatters away for a full 2+ minutes before even showing anything like cooking or cleaning. Then she will often chatter away endlessly throughout the video, as though she's afraid to stop speaking, lest we lose interest during a pause. I often feel less energized and enthused after watching a few of these because my brain has to process so much wordiness.
In these silent vlogs, they just show a beautiful, sweet, vignette of a slice of life. We see a scene from a side view, and we almost NEVER see the person facing forward, just from a side or from the back. I wouldn't recognize any of them in real life, even though I've watched several videos by the same vlogger. It's because THEY aren't the stars. Instead, it's about creating a mood while making fresh baked bread for breakfast, then sitting down to savor breakfast after lighting a candle. Or later, loving resetting home for the upcoming week that are the "stars" (or main subjects) of the video.
They often set up these scenes with a lot of sensory and visual imagery in their home or around town. One lives in the English countryside. Another in Scotland, a third in Ireland. Some of my favorites are up in Norway and Finland, as they had to bunker down for the winter and be really intentional about creating a home that is cozy and inviting while having to staying indoors during their harsh winters. They really set off my nesting instincts as I'm remodeling my apartment.
Since the videos are
silent, (they often do have some nice soothing music,) or you can hear the fresh baked, crusty bread being cut, they use closed captioning/subtitles to communicate with us
instead. At first, I thought it was because the videos are international. The first one I watched was over in Norway, and I thought she asked us to turn on the closed captioning (CC) because she spoke Norwegian.
But, this is just the style of these vlogs. There is no vocal dialogue at all. We
read along. AND due to the magic of combining Google Translate into making their YouTube videos, they are able to auto-translate any video into 32 different languages for people to read along. Knowing they are using closed captions makes these vloggers automatically CONCISE with their words instead of endlessly chattering. There is actually very little reading along. Just a couple sentences here and there. The reading makes one slow down and focus.
These vlogs are even tagged
#slowliving and they really kind of remind me of the type of slower paced life with attention to the cozy details that Hallmark movies are about. When the fastpaced, city woman comes back to her small hometown and is forced to slow down instead of microwaving a meal. Then she starts doing those slower paced actions like making fresh baked cookies and loving the experience.
to all who celebrate!
It lists one recording of it as 1 hr 1 minute. Another with only 1hr. So, they both look like they are missing the ending.

Cameron has been doing projects for Great American Family. But he did do the last Hannah Swensen movie. So, there doesn't seem to be any exclusivity. So I don't get it. Maybe he just can't swing it as he's also on General Hospital too.
