a Christmas movie on Hallmark Channel

Evan Williams Interview (mp3) - 15 minutes 

The National Tree (2009) premiered on the Hallmark Channel in November 2009 details the story of Corey Burdock (Andrew McCarthy) who is raising his son Rock (Evan Williams), alone, after his wife abandons them, Corey takes refuge in nurturing the trees on his northern California land. The needs of trees are easily understood. The needs of sons are not. When the President calls the Burdocks to accept Corey’s offer of a perfect Sitka spruce to become the National Christmas tree, Corey has no idea how profoundly the simple delivery of the tree from his California home to Washington D.C. will change his life. As Corey and Rock trek across the country, their journey becomes more than just 3,000 miles traveled. It becomes a journey of discovery for father and son, and a simple gesture of patriotism that galvanizes a nation.

The movie is based on a novel by David Kranes. Evan is originally from Canada and in this interview he shares with us about his personally life and professional experience working being involved in "THE NATIONAL TREE" that an original Hallmark movie, from November of 2009.
