Multi-hyphenate actress, game show host, and author Mayim Bialik adds another significant accomplishment to her resume with her upcoming feature debut, As They Made Us.
The family dramedy stars Dianna Agron (“Glee,” Shiva, Baby), Simon Helberg (“The Big Bang Theory,” Florence Foster Jenkins), Candice Bergen (Miss Congeniality, Book Club), and Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie, The Graduate), with a script penned by Bialik (“The Big Bang Theory,” “Call Me Kat”).
As They Made Us follows Abigail (Agron), a divorced mother of two, struggling to balance the unstable forces within her dysfunctional family. Her father Eugene (Hoffman) has a degenerative condition that he and his wife Barbara (Bergen) refuse to accept, and her brother Nathan (Helberg) has been estranged from the family for years. A self-appointed fixer, the film follows Abigail as she attempts to mend her complicated family’s dynamic before it’s too late.
