Two holiday films shot in Medina get release dates
Christmas is coming a bit early for fans of holiday films and movies with Northeast Ohio ties. Two Christmas movies that used Medina and other Northeast Ohio locations as backdrops over last winter now have dates when they will begin streaming. Both films used Medina's Castle Noel Christmas Museum as filming locations. And both feature the same actor as the romantic interest. “ The Great Chocolate Date ” is set to begin streaming on Plex on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The movie directed by Lindsay Hartley weaves the tale of an overworked chiropractor who receives a decadent gift of chocolate. She sets out to find out the sender with the help of a local chocolatier and instead discovers some magic and love along the way. The film starring Harley Bronwyn and Ignacyo Matynia used locations around Medina's historic square, along with the interior of Castle Noel. Mark Klaus, who owns Castle Noel, said some set pieces, including a large chocolate globe, are now part of the museum's large collection of movie props. "We are super excited," he said. And it will mark the first time Mark and his wife, Dana, have appeared in a movie. The couple have made several appearances
