Episode 14: Alex Ross Perry, "Her Smell"

<p>Caroline was joined by writer and director <strong>Alex Ross Perry</strong> to discuss his upcoming film HER SMELL (which is in theaters on Friday, April 12), their shared Philly roots, his Kim's Video alum-heavy list of frequent collaborators and much more.</p> <p>HER SMELL follows '90s punk rock superstar Becky Something as she grapples with motherhood, exhausted bandmates, nervous record company executives, and a new generation of rising talent eager to usurp her stardom - and eventually must retreat from the spotlight to try to recapture the creative inspiration that led her band to success.</p> <p>Alex's career kicked off with the 2009 feature film IMPOLEX - an absurdist comedy inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel <em>Gravity's Rainbow</em>. Since then, he has written seven other features - five of which he also directed - including indies like THE COLOR WHEEL and QUEEN OF EARTH, as well as the 2018 Disney film CHRISTOPHER ROBIN.</p> <p>--<br /> <strong>Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews:<br /></strong><a href= "http://www.onwriting.org/">www.onwriting.org<br /></a><strong>--<br /> </strong> <strong>Follow us on social media:<br /></strong>Twitter: <a href= "http://twitter.com/onwritingwgae">@OnWritingWGAE</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/wgaeast">@WGAEast</a><br /> Facebook: <a href= "http://www.facebook.com/wgaeast">/WGAEast</a><br /> Instagram: <a href= "http://instagram.com/wgaeast">@WGAEast</a></p>
