Cory Choy’s supernatural thriller, “Esme, My Love,” is set to be released worldwide on June 2 via Terror Films. The film features SAG Nominee Audrey Grace Marshall, who starred in “The Flight Attendant,” and Stacey Weckstein. The story follows Hannah as she takes her daughter, Esme, on a trip to their abandoned family farm after noticing symptoms of a terminal and painful illness in her aloof daughter. The trip is a desperate attempt to connect with Esme before they have to say goodbye.
Director Cory Choy says, “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), was co-written and co-edited by women, with cinematography by a woman, and features a score composed by women.”
“Esme, My Love” is inspired by true events and is “rooted in a family’s history and lore,” according to Choy. The film explores the relationship between mother and daughter and is a meditation on love, loss, family, and magic.
The digital release of “Esme, My Love” is highly anticipated by fans of supernatural thrillers and those looking for a film that features strong female characters both on and off-screen.
The film is sure to be a hit among audiences worldwide when it is released on June 2.
