'I Saw the TV Glow' is one of 2024's buzziest films. It took Jane Schoenbrun a lifetime to make it

"I Saw the TV Glow," directed by Jane Schoenbrun, is making waves as a significant film in 2024. The film, distributed by A24 and featuring actors like Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine, delves into themes of self-discovery and transformation. Schoenbrun, who wrote the script during a critical period of personal transition, describes the film as a psychodrama that mirrors their own journey towards self-actualization.

The setting of Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, where Schoenbrun often reflected and wrote, plays a symbolic role in their creative process. Schoenbrun's work is part of a broader movement in trans cinema, pushing the boundaries of narrative and representation. "I Saw the TV Glow" is not just a story of adolescent angst but a deeper exploration of identity and the courage to embrace one's true self.
