Exclusive: Cast Of MTVโ€™s Newest Film, โ€˜Pink Skies Aheadโ€™ Talk 90โ€™s Nostalgia And Normalizing Anxiety [Video]

by Aurora Fowlkes May 6, 2021
written by Aurora Fowlkes

โ€˜Ok not to be okโ€™ โ€“ย  ironically, the lyrics toย Demi Lovatoโ€™s latest singleย and soundtrack behind the trailer ofย MTVโ€™sย newest film, โ€˜Pink Skies Aheadโ€™ completely reflect the attitude of this coming of age movie that surrounds a young woman dealing with an anxiety disorder.

Based on an essay from her 2017 book, โ€˜When You Find Out The World Is Against: And Other Funny Memories About Awful Momentsโ€™, writer/director Kelly Oxford says the idea to transcribe her essay into a script โ€œhit herโ€ after noticing how drawn her readers were to it.

โ€œI was like wow, if I can help readers I should try to get this on screen and help more people and get this story out,โ€ Oxford says of her directorial debut behind โ€˜Pink Skies Aheadโ€™. โ€œIt was really fun to do it, and I knew that I wanted to direct it myself because I had lived through it and it wouldโ€™ve felt really weird to pass it off to somebody else and watch their version of itโ€ฆ. as the creator and writer, I was very excited to make it my first film.โ€

That excitement was shared with Greg Silverman, former president of Warner Bros. Pictures turned CEO and founder ofย Stampede Ventures. Silverman, whose resume includes films such as, โ€˜A Star Is Bornโ€™, โ€˜Crazy Rich Asiansโ€™, and โ€˜The Dark Nightโ€™ just to name a few, coins Oxford as a โ€œforceโ€.

โ€œAs soon as we started [Stampede Ventures] it was like ok well, who can we get behind thatโ€™s gonnaโ€™ make a difference and gonnaโ€™ make something incredible, and Kelly was the first person that popped into our minds,โ€ Silverman says. โ€œWe all are so proud that we were able to be a part of [Oxfordโ€™s] first film.โ€

While the film is set in a 90โ€™s-centric vibe, it deals with an all too common occurrence that everybody can relate to today โ€“ this was especially true for actress, and film lead, Jessica Barden.

โ€œWinona was like myselfโ€ฆ. I was very defiant, I have anxiety,โ€ Barden says of her character. โ€œI just hope that people watch [Pink Skies ahead], and I wanted this to contribute to people understanding that there isnโ€™t a certain type of person that is going to get anxietyโ€ฆ.[or] depression.โ€

โ€˜Pink Skies Aheadโ€™ follows 20-year-old Winona who struggles with accepting her anxiety disorder diagnosis while managing her life in adulthood as a recent college drop-out still living with her parents. The audience watches Winonaโ€™s feeble attempt at ignoring both the physical signs and emotional manifestation of her anxiety, which often leads her into peculiar situations.

All too familiar with dealing with Winonaโ€™s struggle within the film, Barden hopes her role can help those who may feel alone in their battle with anxiety and other issues with mental health. โ€œIf you get to a place where you can be healthy and own [anxiety], you can do amazing things with it,โ€ says Barden with a smile.

While Lewis Pullman who plays the role of โ€œBenโ€ and Winonaโ€™s love interest expressed not completely connecting to his character, he did get the sense that the audience might.

โ€œI think everyone connects to some character [in Pink Skies Ahead],โ€ Pullman says. โ€œI think [Ben] is a good representation of a scape-goat of [having] this huge thing that needs to be dealt withโ€ฆ [but looking for] some other alleyways that I can postpone this thing thatโ€™s haunting me.โ€

As a part ofย MTV Entertainment Studiosโ€™ newest mental health initiativeย titled, โ€œMental Health Is Healthโ€; seriesโ€™ and films shown on the station will display a diverse range of stories in hopes of de-stigmatizing mental health and promoting behavioral and cultural change.

According to MTVEโ€™s president,ย Chris McCarthy, โ€œthe power of storytellingโ€ฆ.can frame the way we look at an issueโ€, and films such Oxfordโ€™s can create โ€œa bigger conversation that leads to systematic change that becomes the norm.โ€

Tune in to MTV on Saturday, May 8th at 9:00 ET/PT on MTV for the premiere of โ€˜Pink Skies Aheadโ€™!
