Bionic Buzz® got to Kelly Oxford, the writer & director of the film PINK SKIES AHEAD. SYNOPSIS: Set in Los Angeles in 1998, it follows Winona (Barden) who, after dropping out of college and moving back home to live with her parents, is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Skeptical of her doctor’s opinion — she hasn’t had a panic attack after all —Winona carries on with her wild lifestyle. Only when things begin to truly unravel around her, does she reluctantly decide to see a therapist and face her truths.

The critically-acclaimed film, which made its world premiere at the AFI Film Festival, showcases mental health issues in a nuanced and authentic way as part of MTV’s newly-launched Mental Health is Health initiative, marks Oxford’s feature-length directorial debut and is based on “No Real Danger,” an essay from her second book, “When You Find Out the World Is Against You.”

We talked to Kelly about the writing process for the film, the amazing 90's music used in the film, how she got permission to use L7 poster in the film, how music is a therapy, how she found the amazing and talented lead star Jessica Barden to play Winona in the film.

MTV Entertainment Studios’ Pink Skies Ahead Premieres commercial free on Saturday, May 8 at 9:00PM ET/PT on MTV with a simulcast on Pop TV.
