The Forty-Year-Old Version

Radha Blank, playing herself, is struggling to live up to the 30-Under 30 award she won ten years back when she wrote a play that got some attention. Now approaching the Big Four-Oh, she's figuring out how THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION of herself can remain vital and relevant. To make ends meet, she teaches theater to high school students in Harlem as she struggles to get her work produced with the help of her best friend and agent Archie (Peter Kim). When the only producer interested is a pretentious white guy (Reed Birney) who values commerce over art, she turns to rapping to find her authentic self, then drops it without much of a try until a young musician named D (Oswin Benjamin) persuades her otherwise.
