Filmmaker Laura Moss's horror film takes a page from Mary Shelley.
Directed by Laura Moss, who also co-wrote the script with Brendan J. O’Brien, the movie centers on a mother and OBGYN nurse who loses her daughter, and a pathologist making her own side experiments, who team up to bring the mother’s child back to life. A poignant but disturbing decent into what it takes to bring life into this world follows.
Motherhood is the topic that attracted many of the actresses to the project, including Judy Reyes, best known for playing Nurse Carla Espinosa on the long-running comedy. “I was like, ‘Fuck, another nurse?,” she said about her first being approached, “And then I read it.” Queerness was also an theme in front of and behind of the cameras. Reyes said that “queer energy” ran through the production and that that “Seventy-five, 80 percent” of the cast and crew was made up women, queer, and diverse talent.
A.J. Lister plays that re-animated daughter and while the young actress was on hand to say hi before the unspooling of the movie as the clock struck 12, she was long gone two hours later. Moss said great care was taken in handling the child on a set that dealt with explicit material and nudity, among other things, and she wrote a letter/manifesto on how to treat her on set, including making Lister’s mother an active partner.
