Cor Values has already won for Best Thriller at an Ottawa film festival. Cor Values stars Edmonton heartthrob Morgan LeBlanc and Erika Eleniak, of Baywatch fame. Cor Values tells the story of Cormac, a big city reporter who returns to his small hometown in the wake of his father’s passing. Cormac’s visit becomes turbulent when he reconnects with a former sweetheart, strikes up a new relationship, and becomes involved in solving a series of local murders. While the film hasn’t yet found a Canadian distributor, Cor Values is currently being streamed in seven other countries, including to American Amazon Prime customers. Cor Values is also available on DVD at Walmart and Target in the U.S. The partnership between Link to the Past Productions and Bubbadog Productions continues with the movie No Apology, which has just concluded filming in Beaumount.

Synopsis: The Murder Mystery film Cor Values is Nominated for The (Rosie Awards) for (2019). Written and Directed by Brandon Rhiness and Gilbert Allan Cormac Dandridge returns from the big city to his small town home to settle his late father's estate. He is shocked to learn the sleepy village is in an uproar. The town wants an interstate on the outskirts but the inhabitants of the First Nations Reserve will not give up their sacred land. Cormac rekindles an old flame and discovers an exciting new one as well. A romantic triangle has no place when your life depends on solving multiple homicides and exposing the corruption that started it all. Cormac soon learns that there is more than meets the eye when he and his two loves go head to head with a legion of evil doers that no one believes even exist. Cor Values stars Morgan LeBlanc, Telly James, Maria J. Parker, and Emily McCourt.

We interviewed star and producer Morgan LeBlanc, one of the busiest actors in Edmonton. An Alberta-based producer, writer and actor, he is a triple threat who has given his whole being to the Arts. LeBlanc says he is grateful for the recent recognition, and plans to continue making a difference for his network. https://www.imherewithmag.com/post/morgan-leblanc-stars-in-cor-values-nominated-for-best-feature-at-the-alberta-film-awards
