When chatting with us, Jessica Lowndes revealed that she wrote "Harmony from the Heart" four years ago when she wasn't getting much acting work. "I had a weird year, workwise, where I kept auditioning and testing for different roles and getting down to the final two and not booking," Lowndes explained. "I forced myself every night to write for an hour. This was the script and I didn't do it to sell the script, I did it to keep myself sane and to remind myself why I got into this business in the first place."
From there, she continued to write and take new acting roles, too, all of which have continuously propelled her career upward. Still, writing remained a central love for her. "It was crazy because I wrote this script and I put it on a shelf knowing, 'Hey, I wrote a script. That's great,'" she explained. "As the years went on, I fell in love with the whole process of writing. I would force myself to write from 9:00 to 5:00, every single day." In fact, Lowndes sold the second script she wrote first, so "Harmony from the Heart" is a return home for her.
As for the film's premise, she added, "I was inspired to write about this because I was asking my mom, if she wasn't a piano teacher, what she would've done. She said she would've been a music therapist, and [love and music] are the two loves of my life." From there, "Harmony from the Heart" was born.
