Jen Lilley Opens Up about Faith, Christmas Films, and Letting Fans Play a Part in Rom-Coms

The popular Hollywood actress, who is best known for her roles in family-friendly rom-coms on Hallmark and Great American Family, says her Christian faith is the foundation of her life. Jen Lilley has appeared in some 18 Christmas movies, including two new ones this year: Great American Family's A Little Women's Christmas (Nov. 23) and Hulu's Operation Mistletoe, which is currently streaming. She's also heading a new innovative crowdfunding company, Raise the Reel, which offers fans the opportunity to be extras in a new rom-com movie, Holiday Hearts, shooting next year.

Lilley isn't shy about her faith. 

"I could talk about Jesus all day long," Lilley told Crosswalk Headlines.

Lilley's new company, Raise the Reel, is a new fundraising model for movies that gives fans the chance to visit the set and even be an extra. The company's first movie, Holiday Hearts, will begin shooting next year. The main roles, she said, involve well-known talent.

"It gives people the chance not only to help fund movies but to actually be part of the filmmaking process," she said. "People can be in a Christmas movie with me."
