Netflix has unveiled a trailer for The 40-Year-Old-Version, “knockout” feature debut of Radha Blank that world premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and won the Directing Award: U.S. Dramatic.
Shot on black-and-white film, and prominently featuring New York City, Radha Blank writes, directs, and plays a once-promising playwright, barreling toward the stigma of being single and a struggling artist at the age of 40.
The cast also includes Radha Blank, Peter Y. Kim, Oswin Benjamin, Reed Birney, Imani Lewis and TJ Atoms.
The 40-Year-Old Version debuts on Netflix on October 9.
Radha is a down-on-her-luck NY playwright, who is desperate for a breakthrough before 40. Reinventing herself as rapper RadhaMUSPrime, she vacillates between the worlds of Hip Hop and theater in order to find her true voice.
