Night, Mother
From Executive Producer Sheila Houlahan, 'Night, Mother' is a hybrid Twitch film that interweaves pre-filmed segments with live-streamed performance. Reset amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, this new adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play explores the concentric circles of isolation, grief, and suicide. During a Zoom call, Jessie (Sheila Houlahan) confesses to her mother Thelma (Ellen McLain) that she plans to commit suicide within the hour. 'Night, Mother' portrays a poignant and haunting picture of the current state of mental health care in America.
Directed by John Patrick Lowrie
