Radha Blank writes, directs, and stars as herself in her first film, The 40-Year-Old Version. She plays a struggling playwright aiming to reinvent herself as a rapper at 40. The film draws from Blank’s own experiences; Her apartment is used in the film along with her late mother’s artwork and her father’s jazz. Even her stage name in the film, RadhaMUSprime, is the same label under which Blank created her own mixtape.
