She Was Here examines the heartbreaking true story of child actor Heather O’Rourke, who starred in the Poltergeist trilogy before her death at age 12.
The documentary will be released on Digital and DVD on February 24 via Virgil Films. Watch the trailer below.
It features interviews with Poltergeist stars Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams, Poltergeist III filmmaker Gary Sherman, Gremlins actor Zach Galligan (who co-starred with O’Rourke in Surviving: A Family in Crisis), and O’Rourke’s sisters Kathleen and Tammy, among others.
Directed by Brian Pocrass, the film aims to counter decades of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding O’Rourke’s death by presenting an authorized account from those who knew her.
The project was developed with complete participation from O’Rourke’s family, who gave the production access to their private collection of diaries, letters, photographs, and previously unseen home videos.
Brian Pocrass produces, with Reese Eveneshen and Avi Federgreen serving as executive producers.
