The Hallmark family is mourning the loss of one of their own, beloved director Neill Fearnley.
It takes a village to make a movie or a television show. There are people in front of and behind the camera. We know that the people that are behind the camera are invaluable. From the PA’s to the Directors and everyone in between – it truly takes a village.
A director has a vision and brings it to life so beautifully. Neill Fearnley, who directed dozens of episodes of When Calls the Heart, brought his visions to life so beautifully. Hallmark announced yesterday that the director has lost his battle with ALS.
“Hearties, it’s with profound heavy hearts today that we bid farewell to When Calls the Heart director Neill Fearnley, who passed away on July 13 after a long fight with ALS. Neill was vital to making When Calls the Heart the beloved show it is today, and he will be sorely missed by the entire Heartie community and everyone who had the honor of knowing him. ❤️,” Hallmark posted on their Instagram channel.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends, family, and the Heartie community. Thank you for your vision and the greatness that you brought to When Calls the Heart, Neill. You will be missed.
