About Her Name Was Christa
Stephen is a socially awkward, middle-aged telemarketer and is desperately alone. At the suggestion of a co-worker, he goes out into the night to find a prostitute for "The Girlfriend Experience." He meets Christa, a streetwise call girl who's happy to fulfill his needs, and something unexpected happens. What starts as a business agreement blossoms into true love. But what happens when death enters the picture? How far would you go to keep the one person you've always wanted?
Directed by James L. Edwards, Her Name Was Christa leans on a strong ensemble — Shianne Daye, James L. Edwards, Drew Fortier — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2020.
