Find Girls Club event details, a bio for Hart, and “I’m Your Woman’s” synopsis and trailer below.
Synopsis: Suburban housewife Jean (Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) lives a seemingly easy life, supported by husband Eddie’s (Bill Heck) career as a thief. But when Eddie betrays his partners, Jean and her baby are forced to go on the run, and Eddie’s old friend Cal (Arinzé Kene) is tasked with keeping them safe. After Cal mysteriously disappears, Jean befriends his wife Teri (Marsha Stephanie Blake) and the two women set out on a perilous journey into the heart of Eddie’s criminal underworld. A decidedly female take on crime dramas of the 1970s, “I’m Your Woman” is a tale of love, betrayal, motherhood — and what it takes to claim your life as your own.
Bio: Julia Hart continues to establish herself as one of Hollywood’s most compelling storytellers as she expands her repertoire in film and television. Most recently she co-wrote and directed “Stargirl,” starring Grace VanderWaal. Adapted by Hart and Jordan Horowitz from Jerry Spinelli’s novel of the same name, the love story was released by Disney+ on March 13.
Hart previously directed “Fast Color,” starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Lorraine Toussaint. Hart’s directorial debut, “Miss Stevens,” premiered at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival.
In 2014 Hart wrote “The Keeping Room,” a film about three women in the dying days of the American Civil War who must fight to defend their home from rogue soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army. Starring Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival as well as the London Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Film.
