"The Mystery of Emma Thorn" Wins Again with Nomination & Official Selection of the New Media Film

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - EntSun -- Gregory Blair's latest film The Mystery of Emma Thorn has just been announced as a nominated official selection of the 17^th New Media Film Festival. The film adds this latest accolade to its previously won Platinum Award for "Best Narrative Feature" from the International Independent Film Awards, "Best Supporting Actress" for Lynn Lowry from the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival and "Outstanding Dramatic Performance" (co-winners Lowry and Blair) from the Skiptown Playhouse International Film Festival.

"I'm thrilled to be in this festival again," Blair relays. "My first film Deadly Revisions was in the festival and so it's like reuniting with an old friend. The New Media Film Festival has always put stories and storytelling first while valiantly championing creators who push boundaries, embrace emerging formats, and share narratives that resonate. The Mystery of Emma Thorn is a heartfelt, character-driven film and its message of love and acceptance is something that people really seem to connect to. I think that says something about how much we all want, maybe even need, to be reminded about what really matters and I think The Mystery of Emma Thorn does that."

In the mystery/drama, beloved wife and mother Emma Thorn (Lowry) has gone missing. Husband Ari (Blair) and mildly autistic adult son Casper (Charles Chudabala) enlist a police detective (Kevin Caliber) to try to find her. But the circumstances under which Emma left are puzzling. And Casper suspects his father is haunted by something more than his wife's absence. Bit by bit, the truth comes out, leading to a heartbreaking discovery.

"It's ultimately a film about relationships and connection," Blair has said. "In a time when division and disconnection have become our society's psychological pandemic, I wanted to tell a story reminding us why that's not healthy; why we need to be patient and understanding toward one another. The characters' struggles, their love, their family dynamics and their grief make the film so much more than a mystery; it's an emotional journey about loss, love and the causes and costs of lies."
