The process of making the film has been therapeutic. Esposito claims she spent a large portion of her life battling unexplained wrath. “I had partners who would always tell me, ‘You’re so angry,`” she claims. “I would say, ‘I’m not angry. But I was. There was anger and rage”

Actor Jennifer Esposito, who is known for being part of ‘Summer of Sam’, ‘Don’t Say a Word’, ‘Welcome to Collinwood’, among others, recalls getting multiple requests to try out for ‘The Sopranos’. She always said no. “I chose to not go up for it when they would call me in because it was like, ‘I can’t relive this,`” Esposito recalls. “The only thing that used to make me crazy about the show when I did watch it was the character of Meadow because she was very nice. The girls I grew up around wanted to kill me, wanted to kill me every day. So it was PTSD,” Variety reported.
On Staten Island, Esposito was raised amidst organised crime. The 50-year-old actor, whose work includes the Oscar-winning ‘Crash’ and television’s ‘Spin City’ and ‘Blue Bloods,’ claims that Staten Island is still the same place that it was when she left at the age of 18. “It’s still the same place. You need to understand that nothing leaves this island. It’s a very strange time warp of a place.”
