This was Madison’s screen debut at age 15; she recently won the Oscar® for Best Actress in the critically acclaimed and award-winning film Anora.
A meditation on first love and first sex in the ’60s, Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey introduced two remarkable new young actors, Mikey Madison and Sean H. Scully. Watch the trailer: HERE
In the turbulent summer of 1966, a year of the draft and the war in Vietnam, civil rights confrontations, the beginnings of the Sexual Revolution, and living in the shadow of the atomic bomb, 15-year-old Liza and her 16-year-old boyfriend Brett set off on an eventful four-day motorcycle trip up the California coast. Almost everything gets in the way and goes wrong for the two runaways in this touching, bittersweet, and very real love story.
CEO/Managing Director of Vision Films says, “Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey is a special film that introduced the world to Mikey Madison’s charm and talent. We are thrilled to give audiences the opportunity to see the first feature film role for this Academy Award® winner.”
Filmmaker Terry Sanders shares, “I knew I wanted to cast an actual 15-year-old. We auditioned 12 young actresses, including Mikey, and I was struck by how natural, spontaneous, and believable she was; she effortlessly became Liza and was speaking from the heart. I’m incredibly happy to see her huge and well-deserved success in Anora.”
The film was directed, written, and edited by Terry Sanders, a two-time Oscar® winner who has produced and/or directed more than 70 award-winning dramatic features, theatrical documentaries, television specials and a large body of portrait films of major American artists, writers, and musicians. He is available for interviews.
