Filmmaker Jennifer Esposito is launching a new creative chapter with her latest film, Mary Rides the F Train, a project she describes as a heartfelt love letter to New York City.
Written, directed, and starring Esposito, the film explores themes of friendship, human connection, and the emotional ties people have to a city that is constantly evolving. Set against the backdrop of a changing New York, the story reflects on what has been lost over the years and what still remains beneath the surface. Esposito recently joined The Rush Hour to discuss the inspiration behind the film, her personal connection to the city, and why the story feels especially timely. During the conversation, she also reacted to the reported death of Rob Reiner, sharing her thoughts on his legacy and impact.
