‘STRAIGHTEN UP and FLY RIGHT’ (2022) \/ 1 HR 28 MIN
\nthat’s Kristen – on the right.<\/p>\n

note:<\/strong> although Kristen plays a disabled young New Yorker,
\nshe herself – is not<\/strong> disabled, she’s . . . acting :)
\nwhile the film’s co-author, co-director, and co-producer . . STEVEN TANENBAUM is disabled \/
\nMr.Tanenbaum has in fact been a long time creative mentor to Kristen,
\nso, it’s a very close to home \/ personal experience for her. the film is in fact,
\na deliberate – creative ‘inversion’ . . the better to tell the story.
\nknowing Kristen – I’m guessing the narrative . . is quite<\/strong> bold.
\nthe film has both a ‘drama’, and a ‘comedy’ tagging . . on IMDb. <\/p>\n

in brief:<\/strong> “In a funk, Kristen, a physically disabled New York woman walks dogs for a living but
\ndreams of being a writer and as her her life unravels, she must make a choice \/ to fall apart, or straighten up.”
\n~SLAMDANCE <\/p>\n

“A young, physically disabled woman meets an old man who helps her transcend the limitations of her mind.”
\n~GOOGLE<\/p>\n

‘STRAIGHTEN UP and FLY RIGHT’ . . is as INDIE – AS THEY GET !!
\n& has been a long time – a coming.
