Writer, director, and star Leah McKendrick speaks to Harper's Bazaar about making the deeply personal film.
In May of 2020, I froze my eggs. I was 35, single, and elective medical procedures were becoming available again following months of a complete Covid shutdown. Vaccines were nowhere in sight, and going on a date at the time meant risking, you know, your life. At a time when everything felt so unbelievably out of control, freezing my eggs felt like the most tangible way to take my future into my own hands.I counted myself among a lucky group of women.
I’m like, “How do you do that without ever having been to space?” I just work from what I know. I work with the people that I love, the experiences I’ve had, the experiences of my friends and my family. Somebody very close to me had a miscarriage, and it was complex, more complex than I expected. And I think it hurts more than you expect it to. From the outside, it’s such a different experience, and the person is truly—the woman is alone in it.
