Fitting In (ft. Molly Mcglynn)
This episode, we interview LA-based filmmaker Molly McGlynn, the writer, executive producer, and director of Fitting In starring Maddie Ziegler. Fitting In is a semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age “traumadey” that follows 16-year-old Lindy (Maddie Ziegler) who is unexpectedly diagnosed with a reproductive condition, MRKH syndrome. The diagnosis upends her plans to have sex, her presumptions about womanhood and sexuality, her relationship with her mother, and most importantly, herself. The film was also produced by singer-songwriter and actress Janelle Monae. In this very personal episode, Sophie reveals her relationship to MRKH and how this film is important to people who struggle with reproductive conditions and gender identity.  Fitting In will screen in select theaters in North America. A list of theater locations will be available in the coming weeks on https://www.bluefoxentertainment.com/films/fitting-in.
