Today, Kevin + Steph talks with a listener of the show, Duane Abel. Duane reached out via their website kevinandsteph.com. Duane’s story sounds like a Hallmark movie. During Covid, Duane wrote a romantic comedy called The Green Oak Guardian, which was turned into a feature film, and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. For most of us, this would have been enough. However, Duane negotiated two conditions before letting the production company use his manuscript. 1) It had to be filmed in his ...
