Cory Choy delivers an incredible mother-daughter supernatural thriller Esme, My Love.
Synopsis: When Hannah notices the symptoms of a terminal and painful illness in her aloof daughter, Esme, she decides to take her on a trip to their abandoned family farm in a desperate attempt to connect before they have to say goodbye.
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.
Esme, My Love stars Audrey Grace Marshall as Esme and Stacey Weckstein as Hannah.

Director’s Statement:
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.
