On this week’s podcast, NFS’s GG Hawkins sits down with director Kelly Fremon Craig to talk about puberty, filmmaking, and Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
Kelly Fremon Craig is a writer and director who has earned awards and nominations for her first feature, The Edge of Seventeen. Her second feature, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, is based on the very famous Judy Blume novel of the same name. The main theme of this film is what it’s like to undergo the complicated process of puberty, which is ironically similar to Craig’s experience with the screenwriting process.
In this episode, No Film School’s GG Hawkins and director Kelly Fremon Craig, discuss:
-
How this film brought a sense of relief from embarrassment
-
Why the worst place to create from is a place of self-consciousness
