Rather than focusing on rumors and media headlines, the production seeks to honor her spirit and the person she was outside of her professional work.

Directed by Brian Pocrass and Nick Bailey, this Canadian and American production was released on February 24, 2026. The 83-minute film features archive footage of Heather O’Rourke. It also includes appearances by Kathleen O’Rourke, Tammy O’Rourke, Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, and Zach Galligan.
