John Early and Kate Berlant on Maddie's Secret | New Directors/New Films 2026

Maddie's Secret director John Early and actress Kate Berlant discuss their film, a 2026 selection of New Directors/New Films, with New Directors/New Films selection committee member Madeline Whittle. John Early’s first feature, starring the director, in drag, as a bulimic food influencer, is bracingly comic and wrenchingly tender—a Sirkian melodrama from the age of short-form video.
