Freeform Announces New Valentine’s Day Movie, “The Things About Harry”

Freeform has officially begun production on its new Valentine’s Day movie. Entitled, The Thing About Harry, the movie is currently being filmed in Chicago and will be released on the network this February.

The movie “will tell the story of high school enemies, uber-jock Harry and out-and-proud Sam, who are forced to share a car ride to their Missouri hometown for a friend’s engagement party on Valentine’s Day. Things take a turn when Sam learns Harry has come out. Stuck spending the night together in a roadside motel, Harry and Sam begin to develop a deep friendship—with neither admitting a potential romance may be brewing—leaving them wondering if one road trip could change the rest of their lives.”

Jake Borelli will play Sam, a handsome, funny, neurotic, intelligent young gay man who combines a scathing wit with an overly idealistic worldview. Sam came out when he was still in high school, something that took a lot of courage in his small Missouri town, but was constantly bullied. Newcomer Niko Terho will portray Harry, an emotionally uncomplicated, promiscuous player who has always left a string of broken hearts in his wake. Under the surface, Harry actually yearns for love, family and stability, but the thought of commitment still terrifies him.

Rounding out the cast, Karamo will play Paul, an exceedingly well put-together, yet overbearing and pretentious gay man; while Britt Baron, will play Stasia, Sam’s edgy and opinionated best friend. Director Peter Paige will also return to the screen as Casey, Sam’s warm-hearted roommate, who always wants the best for Sam.
