New Hallmark movie

In Notes of Autumn, Ashley Williams plays Ellie, a classically trained pianist who gave up on her dream of playing professionally and instead works at a hotel.

Her best friend Leo (Macfarlane), lives in the rustic outskirts of British Columbia. A successful author, he is experiencing a serious case of writer’s block.

They decide to switch houses for a few months, hoping the change of scenery will inspire their creative sides.

Ellie meets Leo’s neighbor Sam (played by Marcus Rosner) and helps him plan a musical performance for a local charity. She also comes to terms with why she quit music years ago.

Leo strikes up a friendship with Ellie’s good friend Matt (played by Porte) and opens himself up to writing something different that really inspires him.
