Frankie Shaw, the creator of “SMILF”, is set to direct a feature adaption of essayist T Kira Madden’s acclaimed ”Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls” memoir, according to Deadline.
“T Kira’s story is a lesson in radical self-acceptance, an open-hearted love letter to our pain and our mistakes, and proof that while we are fundamentally shaped by our trauma, it does not have to define us,” Shaw tells the outlet of a story about a queer, Chinese, Hawaiian and Jewish teenager growing up in the glare of Boca Raton, Florida and its not so hidden underbelly.
“We feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be working with Kira, an immensely talented writer with a truly singular voice, and we look forward to bringing Long Live to life on screen”, Shaw added.
Madden will pen the script from her own book.
