Curiosità

Daisy Winters is a 2017 American independent drama film written and directed by Beth LaMure. The film follows an 11-year-old girl named Daisy Winters, played by Sterling Jerins. Daisy's mother Sandy has been losing a fight with cancer for years. This has made Daisy obsessed with everything to do with death.

Background

From the time that LaMure finished writing Daisy Winters to the time that it was produced it took 13 years to be put together. LaMure placed a lot of emphasis on having a strong female cast to support her feminist stance and wanted to make up for the lack of young, adventurous and strong female leads in the film industry

In 2003, it was reported that Emma Roberts and Rachel Weisz were cast in the lead roles, and John Wells and Peyton Reed were producing. Filming was expected to begin a week from this announcement in Vancouver, but no further development had been reported, and neither Wells nor Reed were involved in the final product.

It took LaMure a long time to find her idea of the strong female lead that she was looking for, taking time with her casting was important for her as Sterling Jerins auditioned three years before filming took place.

Despite raising awareness for topics of depression and suicide in the film, LaMure took her own life towards the latter end of post-production. Production was continued by producers Jane Badler, Deborah Moore and Sean E. Demott. Sterling Jerins commented that "it was one of the saddest moments of my life" after having found out about her director's passing.
