Watch the Trailer for 'Forty-Year-Old Version' starring Radha Blank (VIDEO)

Check out the first trailer for Radha Blank's award-winning Sundance film Forty-Year-Old-Version. Blank wrote, directed and stars in the film and is executive produced by Lena Waith and her Hillman Grad Production Company. 

In the film, Radha stars as a down-on-her-luck New York City playwright who is desperate for a breakthrough before 40. But when she foils what seems like her last shot at success, she's left with no choice but to reinvent herself as rapper RadhaMUSPrime.

The Forty-Year-Old-Version follows Radha as she vacillates between the world of Hip Hop and theater on a quest to find her true voice. A fresh addition to the New York City slice-of-life canon shot in lush black and white 35mm, Blank's film is an ode to the unfulfilled, and those whose adversity gives them a one-of-a-kind story to tell. 

Forty-Year-Old-Version premieres on October 9.
