Former V-103 host writes, produces holiday-themed romantic comedy

Former V-103 midday host Ramona Debreaux has produced her first movie, a Christmas rom-com with a faith angle called “He Who Findeth.”

Debreaux wrote and co-produced the film, now available for free on Tubi and Mansa.

“I love radio and television, but this was the perfect culmination of things I love,” Debreaux told The Atlanta Journal-constitution.

The movie features Brad James as Daniel Anderson, a wealthy bachelor whose meddling parents create a new charity via a massive Christmas gala as a way to find him a suitable mate. Lizzy, portrayed by Erica Hubbard (“Let’s Stay Together”), is the striving middle-class person organizing the gala who ultimately captures his heart.

“I wanted to pay homage to Atlanta and the upwardly mobile affluent,” Debreaux said.

Through her production company with husband Wayne Overstreet, she shot the film on a relatively modest budget. “We had to get very creative,” she said. “I was just happy when people said ‘yes’ to us.”

Getting the film on Tubi, she said, “was a big win. Their base is so big. And we are No. 1 on Mansa. It’s doing really well.”

Debreaux has been in Atlanta since her teen years. She was a midday jock at Hot 97.5 (which later became Hot 107.9) from its inception in 1995 through 2007. She moved on to V-103 in 2007.

At first, she worked as a fill-in, then became midday host. In 2012, current HGTV host Egypt Sherrod took over, but she left in late 2013 and V-103 brought back Debreaux in the spring of 2014.

She left V-103 in 2023 to focus on her film and TV projects, which also include a cooking show, “Twisted Dish,” on Aspiretv.
