Holy shit, we've been waiting for 5 years to have this conversation! We first heard about The Forty-Year-Old Version at Sundance 2020, and we knew that we would one day interview the writer/director/star Radha Blank. And it was worth the wait!
The Forty-Year-Old Version follows a down-on-her-luck NY playwright who reinvents herself as a rapper in an attempt to breakthrough and find her true voice. Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles was having a special screening of the film to celebrate its legacy and ongoing resonance. Radha joins us virtually from the event to share how she refuses to let age be a factor in her career, the struggle as an independent artist to maintain your integrity, her decision to shoot in black and white, and which famous director's career she'd like to emulate.
