Marisa Coughlan on Playing Jane and Creating Blue Eyed Girl


Listen Later

Marisa Coughlan joins Pop Culture Unplugged w/ Elias to talk about her deeply personal new film Blue Eyed Girl, where she serves as writer, producer, and star. Marisa opens up about returning home to Minnesota, the emotional inspiration behind the story, filming heartfelt scenes with Beau Bridges, and why she felt compelled to play the role of Jane herself.

We dive into how Blue Eyed Girl became a “coming-of-age story for 40-somethings,” the creative process behind transforming a Minnesota mansion into multiple sets, and the challenges of balancing acting, producing, motherhood, and grief — all while making an indie film fueled by heart.

Whether you’re a fan of Marisa’s work, love indie filmmaking, or appreciate honest conversations about reinvention and storytelling, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
