My Interview With 'The Tale' Writer-Director Jennifer Fox


The Tale was the best film at this year's Sundance. On Saturday, it premieres on HBO. For MEL, I spoke with writer-director Jennifer Fox about her autobiographical tale of a 13-year-old who enters into a sexual relationship with her much older track coach (Jason Ritter). We talked about sexual abuse, what Hollywood gets wrong about survivors, and what the experience has been like to share the movie (and her story) with the world. You can read my interview here.
