Actor and filmmaker Jennifer Esposito has revealed that bringing her independent film Fresh Kills to life has cost her far more than she ever anticipated, including the home she mortgaged to finance the project.
The 52-year-old, best known for her work on Blue Bloods, wrote and directed the gritty crime drama Fresh Kills, which challenges traditional portrayals of organized crime families in New York City by centering the story on women. The film, released in 2024, stars Emily Bader, Luciana VanDette, and Odessa A’zion.
