Blood Moon

Directed by Emma Tammi (The Wind), Blood Moon tells the story of Esme, a young mother (played by Megalyn Echikunwoke), and her son, Luna (Yonas Kibreab), who move to a small desert town. Esme keeps a close watch over Luna, but not because she’s an overprotective mother; there’s something more here. As the Blood Moon trailer teases, Luna is going through a change that is tied to the lunar cycle and requires Esme locking him up for one night a month to keep him safe (see where this is leading?). Soon, Esme and Luna’s behavior catches the attention of local authorities, leading mother and son down a dangerous path in an effort to protect the truth about Luna.
