Crystal Lowe has stepped behind the camera to direct two Hallmark movies so far: Shifting Gears, which came out in early 2024, and This Time Each Year. But her talents aren’t limited to Hallmark—she’s also directed three short films outside the network, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with both in front of and behind the camera.

Though nothing’s been officially announced yet, it’s likely that Crystal Lowe will be back directing another Hallmark movie in 2025. After the success of Shifting Gears and the anticipation of This Time Each Year, there’s definitely buzz about her next project.

Crystal Lowe teased on both her Instagram and in our interview that Signed, Sealed, Delivered fans might spot a familiar face in her new movie This Time Each Year. While she didn’t reveal exactly who it is, we can’t help but speculate – could it be one of the beloved POstables like Kristin Booth, Eric Mabius, or Geoff Gustafson making a surprise appearance? Keep an eye out, because this possible cameo is sure to excite fans of the series!

Katherine McNamara plays Casey Barlowe. We last saw Katherine in “Love, Classified” from 2022.

Markian Tarasiuk plays Eli Flint. Something about a dude in a cardigan, hello wowie-zowie. We’ve seen Markian in previous Hallmark projects like “Welcome to Valentine,” “Christmas at the Golden Dragon,” and “Our Italian Christmas Memories.” And grab your bingo cards… He was also in 2 episodes of “Virgin River.”

Marisa McIntyre plays Sarah. This appears to be Marisa’s second project for Hallmark having previously appeared in “Never Too Late to Celebrate” from 2022.

About "You're Bacon Me Crazy"

"You're Bacon Me Crazy" premiered on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, Apri 4, 2020.

Filming took place from February 3 to February 21 in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. Many The trucks were rented for the shoot and set across the main roads of Langley, making it easier to showcase the busy streets on the film.

The movie was based on a Scholastic book by the same name "You're Bacon Me Crazy: A Wish Novel" by author Suzanne Nelson. Nelson has written 16 other middle grade and young adult novels and was also given writing credit for this film on IMDB.
