Reverie is a story about how we hold the people we’ve lost — not through grand memories, but through the small, fleeting moments that stay with us. I wanted the film to feel like stepping into someone’s inner world, where warmth and melancholy exist side by side.
Working with Amble for several years has created a trust that shaped this piece. Their music carries a quiet nostalgia that naturally guided the visual language: soft light, gentle movement, and a sense of being suspended between past and present. The farmhouse locations allowed the memories to feel lived-in rather than staged, grounding the emotional world of the story.
At its core, Reverie is about the tender space between remembering and letting go. The film doesn’t aim to explain everything — instead, it invites the viewer to bring their own meaning to the final moments.
