DESCRIPTION:
(from MTV's press release, April 2021) MTV Entertainment Studios today announced that the highly-anticipated film, Pink Skies Ahead, written and directed by New York Times best-selling author Kelly Oxford, is set to premiere commercial free on Saturday, May 8 at 9:00PM ET/PT on MTV with a simulcast on Pop TV. The critically-acclaimed film, which made its world premiere at the AFI Film Festival, showcases mental health issues in a nuanced and authentic way as part of MTV's newly-launched Mental Health is Health initiative, marks Oxford's feature-length directorial debut and is based on "No Real Danger," an essay from her second book, "When You Find Out the World Is Against You." The coming-of-age film stars Jessica Barden (End of the F***ing World, The New Romantic), Mary J. Blige (The Umbrella Academy), Devon Bostick (The 100, Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Marcia Gay Harden (Mystic River, Pollock), Michael McKean (Better Call Saul, This Is Spinal Tap), Lewis Pullman (Bad Times at the El Royale, The Strangers: Prey at Night), Evan Ross Cameron (The United States vs. Billie Holiday, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay), Odeya Rush (Goosebumps, Lady Bird), Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel, Undone) and Henry Winkler (Barry, Happy Days). Set in Los Angeles in 1998, it follows Winona (Barden) who, after dropping out of college and moving back home to live with her parents, is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Skeptical of her doctor's opinion - she hasn't had a panic attack after all - Winona carries on with her wild lifestyle. Only when things begin to truly unravel around her, does she reluctantly decide to see a therapist and face her truths. |
