Kiernan Shipka Interview: Working with Charlie Plummer on Wildflower

If you’re in need of a film that’ll fill your heart, look no further than Matt Smukler’s narrative feature debut, Wildflower.

Inspired by Smukler’s own family, Wildflower stars Kiernan Shipka as Bea, a teenager born to intellectually disabled parents played by Samantha Hyde and Dash Mihok. Nearing the end of high school, Bea struggles with feeling obligated to care for her parents, leaving her minimal time to just be a kid and doubting if she can leave home for college.

With Wildflower hosting its world premiere screening at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Smukler, Shipka, Hyde, Mihok, and Kannon Omachi who plays Bea’s best friend in the movie, all swung by the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl to talk about their experience bringing this story to screen.
