Mel Damski works the other side of the camera, and Hallmark has handed him the director's chair on eleven films since 2016. He likes a small town, that much is clear, since seven of those eleven plant themselves on quiet main streets where everyone knows everyone. Christmas is a regular gig too, with four holiday titles in the mix. His best-reviewed outing is Darrow & Darrow: Body of Evidence from 2018, a courtroom mystery that landed at 7.1, with Christmas Getaway and Journey Back to Christmas close behind at a tidy 7.0 each. The films sit comfortably in the high sixes overall, which is steady, dependable Hallmark work. If you have ever settled in for one of his small-town December movies, you have already seen what he does well.
