\n\tJennifer Esposito<\/a> has revealed she has to move out of her home that she mortgaged to make her directorial debut, Fresh Kills.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Blue Bloods actress shared a video on Instagram Friday explaining the situation, noting, \u201cYeah, I\u2019m looking like ass right now because I\u2019ve been crying because I\u2019m moving out of my home that I mortgaged to make my film.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tEsposito continued, \u201cAnd then to have people who are in the spotlight now to not be able to just throw one back and say, \u2018Hey, watch this film.\u2019 Then I said to myself, \u2018You know what? Nobody owes anybody anything.\u2019 And then I thought, \u2018Do we? Do we as human beings? Maybe that\u2019s why we\u2019re in this problem right now where we are. I think actually we do owe each other something. We owe each other decency as human beings. That\u2019s what we owe each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFresh Kills debuted in 2023, in which she served as director, writer, producer, and star. The mafia film featured a cast including Emily Bader, Odessa A\u2019zion<\/a>, Domenick Lombardozzi and Annabella Sciorra.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing her Friday Instagram post, Esposito returned to the platform on Wednesday<\/a> to say \u201cthank you,\u201d noting that she has been \u201coverwhelmed by such support\u201d in response to her original video.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd to all of you who just found Fresh Kills and wrote me in tears, or joy or frustration as to just finding it- THIS is what matters to me- connection. That\u2019s why artists do what they do and sometimes sacrifice everything to create it- human connection and expression,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThat alone is the reward. I\u2019ll also say it again- I\u2019D DO IT AGAIN- which side note \u2013 I was pushed to do after a horrible producer drove the film into the ground and I HAD to save it and my house made that possible.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Crash actress added that for those who have \u201casked how to help,\u201d she has included a link in her Instagram bio for fans to offer support for her upcoming film, Mary Rides the F Train.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s kind, and funny and thought proving and just what\u2019s needed at this moment in time,\u201d Esposito continued. \u201cStories matter, from all- it\u2019s our right as creators to make them and it\u2019s your right as a human to be able to know about them and view them. Yes it\u2019s that deep!!\u201d <\/p>\n
