Zibby interviews actress and screenwriter Jana Savage about&nbsp;Wildflower,&nbsp;a beautiful coming-of-age film that follows Bea Johnson from birth to graduation as she navigates life with two neurodiverse parents, starring Kiernan Shipka, Alexandra Daddario, and Charlie Plummer. Jana describes her path to screenwriting (she acted for many years prior) and then shares how she, Matt Smukler (the director), and the Morning Moon production team turned a difficult, real-life story into a poignant, darkly humorous, and joyful movie. She also talks about the writers’ strike, her favorite author, her next few projects (one is a sequel to an early-2000s movie with a bit of a cult following…), and her best advice for aspiring screenwriters.&nbsp; You can now stream Wildflower on Hulu, or buy/rent on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Google Play Movies, and YouTube.
