The film is Ana Valine’s directorial debut and is adapted from Billie Livingston’s 2010 young adult novel, “The Trouble with Marlene.”
The film was screened as the Busan International Film Festival, as well as the Vancouver International Film Festival, where the rising director took home the BC Emerging Filmmaker award.
