Melissa D’Agostino & Wendie Malick On Making Their Musical Mother-Daughter Dramedy Mother Of All Shows
Summary Mother of All Shows is an ambitious musical movie from Canadian filmmaker Melissa D’Agostino. Written by D’Agostino and David James Brock, Mother of All Shows takes place largely in the mind of its main character, Liza. Attempting to cope with the impending death of her estranged mother, Liza constructs a 1970’s-style variety show in her mind—one hosted by her mother, Rosa.
Melissa D’Agostino & Wendie Malick On Realizing An Emotional Mother/Daughter Story Screen Rant: Melissa, I don't know how autobiographical this is, but I feel like it's always hard with personal stories to toe the line between sharing a personal experience and villainizing somebody. Then, there’s knowing that it's going to be seen by people familiar with everyone involved.
So, I was very concerned with , and it weighed quite heavily on me. Having David there was very helpful, because he brought so much of his own experience and his own beautiful writing to the project, and he kept me in check. We didn't want to make Rosa into a villain, and purely a villain, and so we were very careful to try and balance the story.
Melissa D'Agostino: That's a really cool way to put it. In some ways, I think my writing partner and I were always trying to one-up what we were doing creatively just out of sheer joy and the pleasure of surprising each other and ourselves as we wrote and pitched ideas.
Malick & D’Agostino Reflect On Taking On Unique Projects Like Mother Of All Shows Wendie, one of my favorite shows is BoJack Horseman, which you were amazing in, because it feels like a series of creative risks. This movie does too, in the best way. Are you always looking for the opportunity to do something different in that way?
In terms of what it took creatively, getting a team together, and how much effort everyone put into it, it was such a marathon. I don't think I was really prepared for the marathon that it would be. Making a movie in any configuration is a miracle, but when you're making an indie project and it's also deeply personal and emotional and everyone is very invested, it also means that everyone's really pushing.
