Exclusive: Actress Jennifer Esposito will make her directorial debut with the independent feature film Fresh Kills.
In a groundbreaking departure from traditional film financing, the Fresh Kills production will be financed by an offering on the Upstream Exchange, which today announced a $3.5 million Initial Public Offering “IPO” of securities by Fresh Kills, Inc.
The film tells the story of the loyal women of an organized crime family that dominated some of the boroughs of New York City in the late 20th century. The screenplay was written by Esposito, and is inspired by life as a young woman growing up in Staten Island, NY. Fresh Kills is produced by Alexis Varouxakis (Good Time) and Christine Crokos (Pimp). Esposito will also serve as a producer, and Jason Weinberg as executive producer.
This will be the first feature film financed and traded by a global group of fan investors via this first-of-its kind...
