I’ll Be Seeing You: Tyler Hynes, Stacey Farber, & Christine Ebersole Talk Hallmark’s Road Trip Romance

I’ll Be Seeing You, starring Tyler Hynes, Stacey Farber, and Christine Ebersole, takes the classic Hallmark Channel romance on the road for an unforgettable ride.

The film features heart-shaped sunglasses, an adorable blue van, and a charming activities director who helps a grandmother and her granddaughter resolve their hangups with a trip down memory lane.

I recently spoke with the cast about this project’s delightful comedic tones and the camaraderie that shaped their onscreen shenanigans.

“We all share a similar sense of humor, so that made things a lot easier,” Farber, who plays Amy, explained. “It’s long days on set, and it can be exhausting. You get a little delirious, so it’s nice to have people you can laugh with.”

And laugh you will, with golf cart races and spur-of-the-moment train hopping. Yet, for all its comedic triumphs, the movie’s multigenerational themes are a poignant reminder to make time for your loved ones.

“My favorite thing about my character was her relationship with her grandmother,” Farber revealed.

“I have a great relationship with the two grandparents I’m lucky enough to still have, and I was super close with a grandmother of mine who passed away a while ago. They’re just so important to me, and the relationships are so special.”

“So I loved drawing from my own life to infuse Amy’s relationship with her grandmother with some of my experiences. And I loved affirming to the viewers that we’re lucky to have older relatives in our lives. Maybe it’ll inspire people to reconnect with people or foster the relationships they have,” she added.

“It was really special having the relationship that I had with Stacy as my granddaughter,” Ebersole agreed.

“It’s something I have not experienced in my life. I never knew any of my grandparents — I may have a vision of my grandfather when I was three, and my grandmother, on the other side, when I was five. That was it, you know, the other ones had passed away. So, that’s really special to hear your [Farber] story about your grandparents and how that’s reflected in this film.”

“And, I think just the general adventure of making this movie and being in the movie was the best part of the whole thing for me.”

Watch Tyler Hynes, Stacey Farber, & Christine Ebersole discuss I’ll Be Seeing You:

Hynes, who has starred in over twenty Hallmark Channel projects, knows a thing or two about what it takes for a film to captivate an audience: “I think more than anything, I find it’s the movies that have all those connective tissues. These movies that are just a multitude of moments and people.”

I’ll Be Seeing You brings about an interesting dilemma in this way.

It’s a memorable movie, and yet, still one film in a sea of titles so vast that not even dedicated Hallmark fans can remember them all. 

“I had a conversation this morning with somebody who really enjoyed the movies, really enjoyed my movies in particular, but couldn’t get a single name correct in terms of naming the movies,” Hynes recalled. “Every one of the guesses was mismatched, and she asked me a really poignant question about why that is.”

“There are a lot of movies out there with long titles, but people remember feelings and moments. That’s what we were in pursuit of with this movie, is trying to capture feelings and as many moments as we can. To me, that’s the measure of success.”

The title may fade, but the combination of moments that established this film’s unique identity will remain.

“That seems to be what people talk to me the most about; is that particular moment,” Hynes continued.

“The fact that the van had a name, that Christine sang a song, that Stacey gave a look — just little things that are so sincere, genuine, earnest, or funny. Those are the things that stick with you, and those are the things that you remember. Those are the things that you want to go back and enjoy.”

“It’s a multi generational movie, which is beautiful, but it’s a multitude of moments that I think people are really going to love.”
