Today, Ali is talking to "Tales of the Walking Dead" actress and "Egg Party" director Kersti Bryan about her new short film, "Egg Party." Egg Party (click link below to watch it!) tackles the incredibly tough topic of pregnancy and infertility—and so much more. The movie is about six women in their late-thirties gathering together for a not-so-sober afternoon to laugh and dye Easter eggs—and to contemplate their fertility. Ali and Kersti about how she created the story behind Egg Party, filming during the Pandemic, the overturning of Roe V. Wade, the importance of good maternal health, miscarriages, egg freezing, the stigma of infertility, and where Kersti is now when it comes to family building.
