Nancy

Nancy is a drama and mystery film about a woman in her mid-thirties who still lives with her mother and works as a temp. She fills the gaps in her life by inventing other identities online, and when she sees a television story about a couple whose young daughter disappeared thirty years earlier, she becomes increasingly certain that she was taken from them as a child. Meeting the couple, she finds the father reserved and doubtful while the mother is full of hope, and the reasonable doubts give way to a belief she is determined to hold onto. The story unfolds around this central conflict between what can be proven and what Nancy wants to be true.

The film was written and directed by Christina Choe and released in 2018. It runs 87 minutes and was produced by Gamechanger Films, XS Media, Mental Pictures and Mothersucker, with Andrea Riseborough, Amy Lo and Michelle Cameron serving as producers. Andrea Riseborough plays Nancy Freeman, and the cast includes John Leguizamo as Jeb, Steve Buscemi as Leo, J. Smith-Cameron as Ellen, Ann Dowd as Betty and T. Sahara Meer as Beth.
