Director Statement
How far would you go to prevent someone you love from suffering?
Inspired by true events and rooted in a family’s history and lore, “Esme, My Love” explores the relationship between mother and daughter — a suspenseful meditation on love, loss, duality, family, and magic.
Director’s Statement re: Women In Film:
I recognize that women are underrepresented in film, both on and off-screen. And while I didn’t set out with this explicit intention, I am very proud to have made a movie exploring the relationship between parent and child that stars only women (one of whom is a little girl), and was co-written and co-edited by women, with cinematography by a woman, and features a score composed by women.
