My Dead Mom

LoCo Motion Pictures

CANADA

- Short Form Fiction Series

Emmy's mother died and she hates what she's wearing. Emmy knows she could live her best life, if her dead mother, Fern, would JUST. STOP. TALKING. Fern pops into Emmy’s life to question her lipstick and life choices, as only a mother can. Even death can’t stop Fern from being fabulous… and disappointed. Emmy wants to make peace with her mother, move to the other side of grief, but how do you get over someone who is so present? Starring Canadian icons Lauren Collins and Megan Follows, and from the award-winning team that brought you HOW TO BUY A BABY, MY DEAD MOM explores the complicated and overwhelming nature of grief and the everlasting hold our mothers have on us. With dark wit and aching honesty, the series shows us that we all must learn to become ourselves because of, or perhaps in spite of, our mother’s love. May Emmy’s mom rest in peace. Please.
