My Fiona
In the wake of an unexpected suicide, Jane (Jeanette Maus, Your Sister’s Sister) is devastated by the loss of her best friend Fiona, and finds purpose in helping Fiona’s widow Gemma (Corbin Reid, “How to Get Away with Murder”) care for their seven-year-old son Bailey. While Jane’s carefree nature compliments Bailey’s youthful imagination, Gemma throws herself into work, unwilling to let anyone sense the cracks in her facade.
As Jane unwittingly integrates herself into Fiona’s family, she finds herself living the life her best friend left behind. In navigating their complex familial situation, Jane and Gemma’s relationship develops from a tentative friendship to a deeper affair that helps them cope, but threatens their ability to heal.
MY FIONA is a poignant portrait of love, loss, sexual identity and human connection that is heartrending, beautiful, and very, very real.
In her feature film debut, writer/director Kelly Walker sheds light on the complex familial situations and relationships that occur after the sudden loss of a loved one, while incredible performances by Jeanette Maus and Corbin Reid beautifully traverse the intricacies of grief with moments of levity and joy.
