Call Your Mother is a cinematic shout out to America’s best comedians and their unsung moms. Directed by Academy Award nominated filmmakers Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp, Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You) the film explores the complex connection comics have with their mothers and how these relationships shape their sometimes-cockeyed worldview. The film utilizes intimate interviews, cinema verité and personal archives to examine the outsized role that comedians’ moms have played in their lives and career choices. Featuring Louie Anderson, Tig Notaro, Kristen Schaal, Jim Gaffigan, Awkwafina, Roy Wood Jr. and many other greats in the world of comedy.
