🎶 “I Hate Myself for Loving You” — Joan Jett, memorably featured in Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson’s film “Saint Frances.”

#IndependentFilm #Screenwriting #WomenInFilm #Filmmaking #IndieFilm

Friendship. Growing up. Finding your own voice. 🎭✨

Jan-Felix in conversation with Kelly O’Sullivan @kellyooonooo & Alex Thompson @alexthompson416 about “MOUSE” — a coming-of-age story set in the summer of 2002, where best friends Minnie and Callie stand on the brink of their senior year. When their tight bond begins to fracture, Minnie is forced to step out of the shadows and confront questions of class, identity, and independence.

Tender, sharp, and emotionally honest — a portrait of adolescence at the moment everything starts to shift.

Look, getting to write for and act with Lois Smith was top of the bucket list I barely allowed myself to dream. Her immense talent is only matched by her kindness, grace, and wicked humor. And to be joined by Cherry Jones and Reed Birney?Come on. As with all independent films, so many people put so much work and love into this film. Thank you to San Francisco, the film office, the spectacular cast and crew, and most of all to @adam.kersh @leylineentertainment @chelseakrant @pbcf3 @denis.lenoir and @alexthompson416 for making this movie happen. ❤️❤️❤️ 🌉

I’ve never been prouder or more grateful for the team that put this film together. If you’re thinking of seeing it, I highly encourage you to find it on the big screen. It’s a film about community and connection; experiencing it with other people in a theater gives it that little extra magic. Thank you to everyone who’s seen it so far. We are so thankful!

Real-life partners Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan directed a wonderful movie called GHOSTLIGHT starring a real-life family of actors and now playing in theaters. Highly recommended!
