The new official trailer for Maddie’s Secret — the critically acclaimed directorial debut of comedian, writer, and actor John Early — is now available. The film opens June 19 at IFC Center in New York, followed by a June 26 opening in Los Angeles, with additional markets to be announced.
Synopsis
In his bold and sharply observed debut feature, John Early stars as Maddie, a plucky dishwasher who skyrockets to viral fame after joining a trendy food‑content creation company. Her life appears idyllic — complete with a devoted husband (Eric Rahill), a fiercely loyal best friend (Kate Berlant), and a pantry stocked with woman‑owned, ethically sourced chili crisp.
But as professional pressures mount and the spotlight intensifies, Maddie’s carefully curated world begins to crack. A long‑buried secret from her troubled past threatens to resurface, pushing her into a spiraling collision of satire, melodrama, and emotional reckoning. With daring tonal shifts and intimate performances, Maddie’s Secret announces a striking new voice in contemporary cinema.
