We met with the triple threat (Director/Writer/Actor) Jennifer Esposito to discuss the world premiere of her film Fresh Kills at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. While the film is based in the mob world in NY (specifically Staten Island), Esposito went out of her way to make sure that not only would the film be as accurate and as authentic as possible -- but that it would be told from a women's perspective for the first time. In a lot of these films, the men are the ones carrying the movie. However, for Esposito, hearing from the often voiceless, the women behind the men was essential. Esposito and I broke down a few scenes without giving too much away because this is a MUST-WATCH at the festival. Host: Monica GlebermanEditor: Marianna RandazzoSocial Media Graphic: Jojo--Synopsis:The daughters of the Larusso family struggle to break the unspoken code of the women behind the men in the mob world of Staten Island in the late '80s and early '90s. Unlike any mob movie you’ve ever seen before, FRESH KILLS reveals the women behind the men. The stories never told. Violence, fear, and unspoken rules dictate who they are and who they are allowed to become.
