Based on a bestselling title by author Nancy Naigle, it will be followed by three other original films over the next year as FOX News Media’s direct to consumer streaming service enters the world of in-house movie production.
"Since launching less than four years ago, FOX Nation has established itself as a go-to destination for lifestyle and entertainment programming. I’m thrilled to share our expansion into film production and Nancy Naigle’s ‘The Shell Collector’ is the perfect fit for our first title," FOX News Media Executive Vice President of Development John Finley said.

Fox Nation’s heartwarming "The Shell Collector" will star Caitlin Clark, Christopher Russell and Jennifer Higgin. It is produced in association with Cartel Pictures and tells the story of a widow, Amanda Whittier, and her two children who make unique friendships in a small seaside town as they forge ahead with a new life following the death of her husband.
"The Shell Collector" debuted on the Evangelical Christians Publishers Association (ECPA) Bestseller list at number 20.
