How To Have Sex: lead actor & BAFTA Rising Star Mia McKenna-Bruce joins us!

We lure the amazing Mia McKenna-Bruce to our studio to discuss our fave film of last year: How To Have Sex. She stars as the central character of Tara in this stunning film exploring sexual consent, female friendship, toxic friendship, and self discovery. Mia gives us the scoop on filming those party scenes, drunk acting tips and regressing 10 years for this role. We reflect on the weighty themes of the film. Unsurprisingly we can all identify with the experiences of the central character and it’s powerful to see the feelings of young, and yes drunk, girls, be validated onscreen. We respect how the young male characters aren’t depicted as monsters and agree how this makes the film all the more impactful. We agree that the incredible authenticity of this film is a testament to not only the writing, but also its thorough research and lengthy casting process. Maisie and Mia compare working with intimacy coordinators on set, to previous uncomfortable jobs when the role didn’t exist. And finally, we hear about Mia’s wildly different upcoming role after winning her BAFTA. How To Have Sex (2023) is the debut feature from talented writer/director Molly Manning Walker. Consider us obsessed. A full transcript of this episode can be found here . Keep up to date with us on Instagram, TikTok, Letterboxd and YouTube: @frankfilmclub Hosted on Acast.
