About this episode

Christian Zyp interviews Pony Nicole Herauf about her debut feature film YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT.

Christian Zyp interviews Pony Nicole Herauf (director/producer) about her debut feature film YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT. See it as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival on Wednesday April 22nd at 7:00PM at the Globe Cinema. Pony Nicole Herauf & Ellie Moon (screenwriter/actor) will in attendance for a post screening Q&A, YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT... 26-year-old Millie lands a career-making debut at Canada’s National Theatre, but the celebration quickly turns to scrutiny after a press release describes her play as a “deeply personal story.” Certain her dark family drama is a work of fiction, Millie is blindsided as those around her begin to read it as confession, especially her uncle Mark, a schoolteacher and recovered alcoholic. Through bright lights and dark comedy, the film interrogates who gets to tell which stories, what it costs a woman to be believed. YOUNG FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT is the debut feature from Calgary-born CUFF alum Director Pony Nicole Herauf (ART BABY, CUFF 2025).
