ABOUT THE WRITER: Russell Hainline has written several movies for Hallmark, including the upcoming MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER!, premiering October 25th, and THREE WISEST MEN, premiering November 15th (both available next day on Hallmark+).
His first Netflix feature film, HOT FROSTY, starring Lacey Chabert, Dustin Milligan, Craig Robinson, and Joe Lo Truglio, is available right now! He’s also written several other movies for Hallmark, all streaming right now on Hallmark+, including THREE WISER MEN AND A BOY (2024), THE SANTA CLASS (2024), CHRISTMAS UNDER THE LIGHTS (2024), THE SANTA SUMMIT (2023), and IN MERRY MEASURE (2022). Will there be more holiday movies next Christmas? Check back soon to find out!
He also loves martial arts movies and monster movies. He once wrote a hard R-rated HUNGRY HIPPOS film, but he refuses to sell it unless it has an over 200 million dollar budget in order to do the story justice.
If you love Christmas romances, martial arts movies, monster movies, or just have a deep affinity for genre filmmaking in general, please reach out and contact him. He loves nothing more than chatting about movies.
