Marita Grabiak hopes to toil in freezing temperatures the next few weeks.
Hunkered down in snowy Quebec, the Ambridge native will direct the sequel to Hallmark Channel s 2019 romance film Winter Castle.
Shooting under the working title Ice Hotel Holiday 2 a name likely to be streamlined the sequel takes place at an ice hotel, one of those wintry lodgings way up north built from sculpted blocks of ice.
So any mid-January thaws would pose a challenge for Grabiak, who directed the original Winter Castle, where the plot followed Jenny (Emilie Ullerup) attending her sister s wedding at an ice hotel, not expecting to have her heart melted by the best man Craig (Kevin McGarry). I didn t see the film, but how much do you want to bet Jenny and Craig meet after literally bumping into each other on the street?
