MADDIE'S SECRET premieres at the Athena this Friday, July 24th! Comedian, writer, and actor John Early offers up an eagerly anticipated directorial debut.

Early stars as Madison “Maddie” Ralph, a tenacious dishwasher who plies her trade in a Los Angeles test kitchen that creates food-related social media content. All the while, Maddie dreams of becoming a chef. One evening, Maddie’s husband posts a home-cooking video on Tik Tok which goes viral and puts Maddie on the pop-cultural map. Her new-found fame, however, leads Maddie to lose her self-esteem about her body and begins to revisit the emotional territory that once led her to suffer from bulimia nervosa.
