It&#8217;s a fictionalized version of the writer&#8217;s experience with vulvodynia and vaginismus, the surgery she endured &#8220;down there&#8221;, and the hilarity\/trauma of the recovery process. We were so impressed with this film, particularly its script, so much so we gave it a special jury award. I chatted with Bonnie over Zoom about her script and the process getting it made. I am hoping Lady Parts will soon arrive to a streaming platform near you. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sheilaomalley.substack.com\/p\/a-conversation-with-bonnie-gross\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A conversation with Lady Parts screenwriter Bonnie Gross<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the stand-out features I saw at last week&#8217;s Florida Film Festival (where I was a juror in the Narrative Features category), was Lady Parts, written by Bonnie Gross, directed by Nancy Boyd.
