Celebrate Mothers Day with Release of Touching New Film Greek Mothers Never Die

Greek mothers have long been haunting their daughters with such overbearing love that not even death can separate them. That’s certainly true for Rachel Suissa and Abby Miner’s characters in the new dramedy, ‘Greek Mothers Never Die.’

In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, Gravitas Ventures is releasing the film digitally on Apple TV+ and other platforms today, Friday, May 9. The movie will also have three theatrical screenings this weekend in Florida, where it was shot. The screenings will be held in Port Richey at the Cinema 6 theater. They will be followed by a special LA screening at the 2025 LA Greek Film Festival at the end of this month.

In addition to starring in ‘Greek Mothers Never Die,’ Suissa also wrote, directed and produced the project. The filmmaker and Miner are joined on screen by Simon Rérolle, Carter Siranni, Wade Hunt Williams, Asia Suissa-Fuller, James Pearthree, Michelle Calloway, Mollie Laylin, Bennett Pappas, Sophia Sutton, Kelby Roberson and Bob O’Hara.

In ‘Greek Mothers Never Die,’ Ella (Miner) dreams of becoming a singer, but her overbearing Greek mother, Despina (Suissa), insists she take over the family gyro business and marry a Greek man. After her sudden death, Despina’s larger-than-life presence refuses to fade, haunting Ella with more unsolicited advice from beyond the grave. As Ella struggles to find her path to freedom and self-discovery, her charming childhood love, Nick (Rérolle), reappears, complicating things even further.
