Jennifer Esposito von den Blue Bloods hält die Tränen zurück und verrät, dass sie ihr Zuhause verlassen muss, um den Film mit einer Hypothek zu finanzieren: „Niemand wollte es schaffen. Ich konnte nicht einmal die Leute dazu bringen, es zu lesen“, sagte Esposito während der Pressetour zu „Fresh Kills“ im Jahr 2024

Damn that’s crazy.

I’m very confused and seems to me more like a PR stunt or just a bad reporter.

So…between her and her husband, and the movie that is streaming on Hulu, they can’t afford the mortgage and are in default? Because the article says nothing about defaulting on the mortgage or that she is selling the house to may the mortgage off.

They always say never use your own money in Hollywood.

It doesn’t sound like she made a bad film, but just wasn’t able to get it financed or sell it at cost after the fact. And then it seems like all the famous friends and coworkers she’s known didn’t help her market it like she’d hoped.

Guilt-shaming because the audience didn’t make her movie successful seems an odd choice. This is the first I’ve heard of her movie, so perhaps a lack of promotion was a contributing factor. If I was going to put my house on the line, I’d make damn sure there was enough promo money so the film had a fair shot.

If no one wanted to make it then maybe she should have realized it was a bad idea.

Welcome to small business and taking risks.

The first rule of the entertainment business is never use your own money.

Always try to find investors who will financially back the project and give them back end points and producer credits.
