Episode notes
While MILLER’S GIRL, in theaters now, is Jade Halley Bartlett’s debut feature, she’s been a working screenwriter, playwright, and actor for many years. In this conversation, Jade and Jordan discuss the multi-faceted awakening that was Elizabeth Taylor as the witty-but-acerbic, strong-but-broken Martha in Mike Nichols’ debut feature, WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, adapted from Edward Albee’s play. And they’ll get into the complicated victims and villains of MILLER’S GIRL (which stars Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman), and the lessons Jade learned and unlearned through the process of getting her own work from stage to screen.

About the show
On Feeling Seen, writer and general enthusiast Jordan Crucchiola invites filmmakers, writers, comedians, and artists to discuss the movie characters that made them “feel seen.” It’s about that instant when a person connects to a piece of art so deeply that they see themselves reflected in it. Every week Jordan gabs it up with a guest about those magical moments when they were watching a film and realized, “That’s me!” It’s an informative, funny, and comforting show about our intimate relationship with movies, the impact they have on our lives, and how they influence our art.
