The Forty-Year-Old Version is coming!

The forthcoming film, which was directed, written by and co-starring Radha Blank, and produced by Lena Waithe, is set to be released on October 9 on Netflix.

Here’s a plot summary: “Radha, a down-on-her-luck NY playwright, is desperate for a breakthrough before 40. But when she foils what seems like her last shot at success, she’s left with no choice but to reinvent herself as rapper RadhaMUSPrime. The Forty-Year-Old Version follows Radha as she vacillates between the worlds of Hip Hop and theater on a quest to find her true voice.”

The film won the Directing Prize at The 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

The movie also stars Peter Kim, Oswin Benjamin, Imani Lewis, Haskiri Velazquez, Antonio Ortiz, TJ Atoms, Jacob Ming Trent, Stacey Sargeant, William Oliver Watkins, Meghan O’Neill, André Ward, Welker White and Reed Birney.
