Ashley and Landon - A Short Film

"Ashley and Landon" tells the story of many kinds of love and is a deleted scene from the Baxter family books written by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Karen Kingsbury. The short film stars Kelsey Kupecky as Ashley Baxter; her husband, Kyle Kupecky as Landon Blake; and Austin Robert Russell as Luke Baxter. It was directed by the talented Tyler Russell, and additionally the film’s original song “Remember You” was written and performed by Tyler Russell.
“As I set out to create Karen Kingsbury Productions, I decided to make a concept film, something that would demonstrate the type of movie I want to produce. When it was finished, I was so impressed with the quality that I knew this short film would be so much more than merely a concept.” The film is currently under consideration by more than twenty national and international film festivals.
“In this drama, it was important to show many kinds of love, and the way people often move in and out of relationship. Music played in the wind on the day we shot this film, and I believe we found colors only God knows exist.” - Karen Kingsbury

How wonderful having family members working together to create such great Christian films. Ashley, Kyle and Austin did great jobs acting. The house was so the Baxter House form the books. It is great to see a film that has Christian values and not today's "normal" worldly additions. Congratulations!

Her name’s not Ashley, that’s the character she played. I think her name is Kelsey.

[@wingsthatsoar14]

I thought to myself should I reread the book before watching since it's been years but nope it brought it all back to me. Well done! Not sure why Kyle hasn't made the big screen yet he would do great!

[@purpleheart472]

I've always adored the genuine love and connection Ashley and Landon shared in the books ❤️ It's so beautiful seeing them on screen, the feeling is so much more from here.

[@mirandaoverholt6922]

Wow I so can see this in my mind from the book. Thank you so much and I can’t wait for more. I love all your books! May God bless you and your family ✝️💜🤗🦋

[@beckydavis5827]

A long time coming for us Baxter fans! Just can’t wait to see more. The house looked just like I imagined all those years ago. Wonderful that Kelsey and her husband, Kyle get to play Ashley and Landon…such chemistry between them. I know that you are proud of them, Karen.

[@terribrantley4336]

Tyler’s song, Remember You, was so good and perfect for this film. Very well written film!

[@kerri4319]

Thank you so much for this beautiful story. Having just read Forgiving Paris this was a real treat for me. I appreciate your books and now your films (!) for their wholesome content and focus on faith. You bring light into our troubled world by sharing your gift. What would we do without you? May the Lord continue to bless you and your efforts abundantly. I am grateful beyond words and can hardly wait to see what’s coming next! With my heartfelt gratitude and many, many thanks ~

[@nancyaritchie7080]

[@kathylovingshimer6708]

I love Karen Kingsbury and her books. Her books could be into a full movie I would own them all. Thank you Karen for writing Books 📚 that touch my life ❤

[@alanef4127]

I'm reading Sunset, the 4th book in the Sunrise series, right now. So I know how the Ashley and Landon story continues. I sure wish I could watch that Baxter TV show... you spoke of. Love the Baxter family characters!

[@bettymonda8471]

I love this. I can't wait to see the whole movie or watch the series. Love Love Love this.

[@beckyabbott534]

Beautifully done! Strange how as soon as it started I remembered so much of the story behind these two.

[@sherrianderson5936]

Very beautifully done, it has always been a beautiful love story with those two. I've always loved the Baxter Family story since I picked up Remember in Walmart on a shelf in one department to take it back to the book department, working for Walmart 2 years prior never left, after 20 years I will still pick books up off a shelf to take them back to the book dept. Only Remember never made it back to the book dept. God knew I would pick that book up and that I would read what it was about (which I never had done before) and it went home with me, the next day I went back for parts 1 & 3.

[@judyhinegardner9611]

Wow! I am speechless. Kelsey and Kyle brought Ashley and Landon aliiivvee!!! The passion they have for each other was palpable. it's the way I always pictured Ashley and Landon being. Great job to Karen Kingsbury Productions. I need more Kelsey and Kyle. And that Austin.Perfect representation of how self righteous Luke to be. Keep them coming.

[@terribrantley4336]

I love everything about this film. It made the books come alive even more. It has a powerful message. Can’t wait to see more!

[@kristindunham8616]

Just loved it!! Can’t wait til more. Brought back memories of your books of the Baxter family, read them all. Beautiful done!!! Thanks!

[@maryannquinn6815]

I loved this !!! It was done perfectly . Love the house. This does bring back so many memories reading the book. Can't wait for more.

[@sheilajholman]

[@kathygrant1528]

I LOVE this! Everything about it, I was right there, at the house, my heart breaking for all 3 of them. The house is exactly what has been in my mind! Thank you for sharing with the world.

[@alondralabute2310]

Just what I needed. Now I not only cry my eyes out reading Karen's books but getting to see this lovely film. I love Karen's books especially the Baxter series. I have read most of them now. Nice to see Karen's own children in this.

[@sabrinadamons3800]

Wow😭❤️I'm so speechless.This was utterly beautiful and magnificent and it really takes me back and brings to mind the strong bond of love between firstly Ashley and Landon and then the Father-son bond between Landon and Cole.It's like I was really transported back to the Baxters and even though this was a short film,I still find myself asking "where are the others"? The spirit of the Baxter family was really unleashed in this film and I am looking forward to many more.This just goes to show the utmost brilliance and work,effort and heart that got placed into this film.May God bless you,your family and your work Ms Karen Kingsbury.And all the best✨
