During the interview, Cory and I discussed the power of this film, the beautiful cinematography, the haunting score, and where the story and inspiration came from. Cory has a true passion for his team, which allowed this story to come together and be told.

“In terms of the score, I knew very early on that there has been a voice throughout my entire life that has haunted me, and when I needed to bring something that spoke to love, empathy, heartbreak, nostalgia, and sorrow, it had to be the voice of Charlotte Littlehales; there is no other voice that will do that.” – Cory Choy, Director.

Esme My Love will be released on June 2nd. The Northern American online release will be through Terror Films and available on Amazon, Google Play, and Apple, and more platforms will be rolled out later. Again, more information can be found on the films website by clicking here.
