Sweetin said she was surprised to learn that her film Craft Me a Romance had been sold to the network, which counts her former Full House costar as chief creative officer, without her knowledge.
“Sometimes, we, as actors, don’t have control over which network buys the projects we are in, nor are we a part of the process in which they get sold,” she said. “So I was very surprised to learn by reading about it in the press yesterday that the independent film I worked on over a year ago was sold to Great American Family.”
Sweetin, 41, continued, “I am disappointed, but in keeping with my mission of supporting the LGBTQ+ family, any potential or future money made from this sale will be donated to LGBTQ+ organizations.”
The film, which also stars Brent Bailey, Maxwell Caulfield, and Julie Brown, is part of the network’s autumn slate and will premiere Sept. 16. It stars Sweetin as the owner of a quaint arts and crafts store who finds herself faced with an ultimatum when the owner of a competing store (Bailey) tells her she must either sell her store or be forced out of business.
