WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T GO HOME?
In 2019, Cory’s hometown in Otter Tail County called with an interesting question: “how do we capitalize on Minnesota’s “rural rebound” and encourage families to explore our lifestyle?”
That question was the inspiration for “Rural By Choice,” a two-season, 12-episode documentary series showcasing the pride and principle behind Minnesotans who choose to live in rural communities.
Born and raised in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, Cory is the Host, Writer, and Producer of “Rural By Choice,” a docuseries showcasing the pride and principle behind Minnesotans who choose to live in rural communities. Exploring his rural upbringing, and now turning 40, Cory looks at his home through a new lens, realizing as a teenager he was in such a hurry to leave he never fully appreciated his roots. Now, as a husband and dad, Cory sets out to discover what he overlooked and what’s changed about the place he loves.
“Rural By Choice” has gained more than 730-thousand (and counting) views, was selected into the 2021 Twin Cities Film Festival, and was prominently displayed in New York City’s prestigious Times Square.
