The Wildfire World Premiere happened on Thursday night. If anyone is wondering how the actors could appear at the premiere during the SAG strike, the film has an Interim Agreement with SAG which allows the actors to participate in promoting the film.  Chevel sang the song Wildfire with the original artist Michael Martin Murphy as part of the festivities, the horse trainer that worked on the film posted a video of the performance and live streamed it.

Michael and his son Ryan also wrote an original song for Chevel to sing in for the movie which she also performed that night.

Covering What was I made for. A bit of a different side to her voice here but sounds gorgeous.

Delayed once again. According to Parkinson in a blogspot update on Saturday, January 20, additional distribution sponsors have come on board, made editing suggestions and will provide distribution in many more theaters. The new expected release date is now April 19. Before then "POSTERS / LOBBY BANNERS / TRAILERS and ads will start being visible (and with increasing momentum) by early March." https://hannoverhousemovies.blogspot.com/2024/01/terrific-action-on-wildfire-and-other.html

 

The film has been in the can since Spring of 2020 and the delays required reshooting some previous scenes with then young children as new footage added since then due to a cast change would otherwise highlight their growth.

In late February Chevel appeared with two others in an hour long interview on "Colt's Balok's A Night With the Stars in Gallup." The other two were Drew Gehling ("Jersey Boys" and TV/stage) and Jeremiah Bitsui ("Breaking Bad," "Better Call Saul" and TV/movies). Chevel discusses some new projects and reminisces on her life since "The Voice." No big reveals except she's getting married in June (to Junior Garcia). She's still doing music, writing but also acting. She mentioned the movie Vengeance by name (but not Wildfire) and that she was filming a movie in Socorro and was the lead, but no name or other info (of course other than Hollywood or maybe Atlanta, Albuquerque and New Mexico are the next big locations for TV streaming and movie productions).

 

You can view the entire interview at the YouTube link below or just her segments at 7:35, 8:50, 13:20, 19:00, 45:50 and 50:10 where she sings an a cappella duet with drew. There is also a second shorter link of her and the others out and about in Gallup before the evening interview.

Wildfire movie delayed again for the nth time with no new release date; it was scheduled for release April 19. According to Hannover House blogspot, the reason is to coordinate with the upcoming streaming release. Below is their explanation:

 

 Regarding WILDFIRE, the film's April 19 theatrical launch is further delayed due to timing issues relating to the film's major studio streaming venture. The theatrical release cannot occur earlier than 60-days prior to the Studio streaming premiere... so we are forced to acquiesce to their schedule. There's a lot of money involved, so following the studio lead is a no-brainer.  https://hannoverhousemovies.blogspot.com/2024/03/hhse-updates-per-shareholder-requests.html

 

Chevel will have gone from a 16-year-old girl to a young married lady before her first filmed movie is ever released. No wonder she didn't mention it during her interview last month.

Now you know why I haven’t mentioned the Wildfire movie in so long. Parkinson is so desperate to keep his struggling company afloat, he’ll say anything to buy more time. I’ve crossed paths with people exactly like him. I don’t believe a word he says. If it ever does get released, my expectations will be very low.

Anyway, congrats to Chevel on her upcoming wedding. I know I’ve been disappointed that she seems to put her career on the back burner, but she’s clearly happy. That’s what’s most important. 
 

I think she got burned out, and I truly believe her dad made things difficult for her career, post-Voice. You may have noticed she hasn’t posted anything about him in years, and deleted posts.

Wait, what happened with her dad? Did a quick Google search and couldn't find anything.
