Fresh Kills is a 2023 American drama film marking the directorial debut of Jennifer Esposito, who also wrote and co-produced it.

The film stars Esposito, Emily Bader, Odessa A'zion, Domenick Lombardozzi, Nicholas Cirillo and Annabella Sciorra.

In 1980s New York City, Francine is married into a Brooklyn organised crime family, who have just moved to the more spacious surroundings of Staten Island.

[3] Jennifer Esposito told Variety that the idea for the script had been “percolating” in her mind since she was 16 years-old and growing up on Staten Island.

[4] Esposito told Deadline Hollywood in October 2021, she had struggled to get financing for the project from financiers and distributors due to the lack of male lead actors in the film.
