Speaking at the screening, Curry thanked Roku for trusting her with her first lead role. “Thank you guys for trusting me. I really appreciate it,” she said.
Curry also praised the time spent filming in Ottawa and the people around her, calling it an “amazing cast, whether it was, you know, local talent or Matthew, everybody was so incredible on set.”
“I feel like that just makes things so much better and so much easier when everybody gets along and is rooting for one another,” she said. “And that’s truly how this set was.”
What is ‘Second Chance Holiday’ about?
Per the official synopsis, “Dating expert Chelsey (Curry) is determined to break her so-called curse of always getting dumped during the holiday season. But when fate reunites her with her high school flame (Daddario), she wonders if her bad luck might just be the universe’s way of leading her back to her first love, just in time for the holidays.”
Curry plays Chelsey and stars opposite Daddario, who plays her high school flame.
Maxwell McGuire directs from a screenplay by Erin Muroski.
Second Chance Holiday is streaming on Roku.
