Hearties know Brian Bird as one of the When Calls The Heart co-creators. However, they may not realize all of his other movie projects. Here is what we know about this prolific creator’s big UPtv contract.
Brian Bird Signs Movie Deal With UPtv

According to Variety, Brian Bird and company have agreed to create “a series of uplifting and values-friendly romantic comedies.
Although the announcement is recent, this partnership began in the summer of 2022 with The Engagement Plot. This movie, which stars Trevor Donovan, Jacklyn Collier, and a cornucopia of hats, was very successful.
Most recently, True Brand was behind The Happy Camper, which just aired on UPtv in early February. This stars real-life couple Daniela Bobadilla and Beau Wirick.
Brian Bird Calls These Stories ‘Good Food’
Brian Bird described the sorts of romcoms that UPtv viewers should expect from True Brand Entertainment. He called this sort of content “uplifting entertainment.” This is in comparison to what he describes as a “diet of razor blades and broken glass.”
Brandon Clark further shared their philosophy. “The goal for the stories we want to tell can be summed up in an acronym, ‘H.E.R.O.’ We work hard to make films that are filled with Humor, Emotion, Romance, and Optimism that the whole family can enjoy.”
Moreover, Bird believes that “The Hearties will go wherever the good food is.”

According to IMDb, “An emerging country star returns to his hometown to overcome his serious writers’ block and reunites with his high school sweetheart. Together they rediscover love and learn that the best music is the music you make together.”
