Los Angeles, California
The principal photography of the Christmas movie took place in Los Angeles. The production apparently commenced on October 11, 2021, and wrapped up on October 23, 2021. Since the filming was done during the global coronavirus pandemic, the cast and crew had to follow all the safety norms to ensure that the shooting went smoothly.
Cartel Pictures, the production company behind the Lifetime movie, is based in Los Angeles, and its offices are located at 1108 Tamarind Avenue. Some projects that it has previously been involved with include ‘A Kiss Before Christmas,’ ‘Once Upon a Christmas Miracle,’ ‘On the 12th Date of Christmas,’ and ‘Christmas in Harmony.’
Dangerous Snow Day Cast
Nicolette Langley leads the talented cast of ‘Dangerous Snow Day’ by essaying the role of Maggie. She is best known for television movies like ‘Killer Cheerleader’ or ‘Christmas Matchmakers.’ Kate Watson, whom you may recall watching in ‘Deadly Hollywood Obsession‘ or ‘Her Deadly Groom,’ portrays Kristen. Matthew Pohlkamp appears as Frederick, while Meredith Thomas plays the role of Ruth.
The acting credits of the former include ‘Picture Perfect Lies‘ and ‘Designed for Death,’ the latter is famous for her roles in ‘A Walk Down Wedding Lane’ and ‘The Wrong Valentine.’ Other noteworthy cast members include Cruz Rosstedt (Kohen), Alex Trumble (Hayes), Harlow Wincentsen (Kaeden), and Emary Simon (Hannah). The film also features Graham Selden (Gary), Lisa Cole (Tracy Coleman), Chloe Oloren (Ashley), Jesus Ruiz (Reeder), and J.B. Waterman (Milton).
Is Dangerous Snow Day Based on a True Story?
No, ‘Dangerous Snow Day’ is not based on a true story. The film sheds light on the harassment and abuse that housemakers, nannies, and helpers usually have to face for their hard work and dedication. These real-life crimes are not only common but frequently become a hot topic from time to time when a heart-wrenching story of harassment comes to the surface. However, one must not conclude from this that the Lifetime movie is also based on a true story as the credit for its premise goes primarily to the screenwriter, Jordan Robinson.
While there have been protests and praiseworthy attempts to change laws in the U.S, the menace of sexual harassment of domestic workers around the world is not going to be curbed any time soon. The harassment of au pairs in the Middle East is not only worrying but considering that there are 2.4 million helpers working in the region, it is a sign of great alarm, and we definitely have a lot of progress to make. However, it is noteworthy that the issue is not limited to a specific geographical location.
What makes it extremely distressing is that the abuse of domestic workers is often overlooked by society. While the ‘Dangerous Snow Day’ focuses on such an important issue, it is important to remember that it uses an entirely fictitious premise to do so, which has nothing to do with real-life incidents.
