Drew Denny’s action film Momster was inspired by a family member with early Alzheimer’s and will premiere in competition at Tribeca Film Festival

This female-led action-packed drama was created by the talented Writer/Director Drew Denny and her crew, led by all female department heads. Momster stars Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool), Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction), John Ennis (Star Wars Resistance), Ryan Simpkins (Pride and Glory) and Josh Fadem (Twin Peaks).

When notorious bank robber the MOMSTER (Amanda Plummer) catches her daughter Angel (Brianna Hildebrand) mid-gunfight, Angel thinks she’s being rescued… until she realizes she has to do the saving.

Drew Denny’s first narrative feature won numerous awards and led her to be named “an auteur to watch” by The Advocate.

Her vast filmography includes six documentary episodes for the launch of Vice’s Broadly – the most successful launch in Vice history – as well as a documentary about drag queen nuns that is now being adapted for television by Marta Kaufman. Her latest film Momster is a proof of concept for her second feature.  Denny’s previous narratives have been selected for AFI Festival’s 5 in Focus, Outfest Best of the Fest, and Tribeca Film Festival’s PRIDE program.
