Yesssssssss. I’ve been following filmmaker Kyra Elise Gardner on TikTok and have watched the journey of her making LIVING WITH CHUCKY with rapt attention!

Amanda (Sandra Oh) seems to be living the ideal life in a sprawling, remote farmhouse with her daughter, Chris (Dievel Stewart). They spend every day together, managing their apiary and packaging the honey to sell with the help of local shopkeeper Danny (HELLOOOOO Dermot Mulroney!).
