Presented by Film Independent as part of its Live Read series of famous film scripts, the “Secretary” script reading was done in partnership with “Teenage Sex and Death” distributor MUBI, ahead of the film’s August release. Jane Schoenbrun, the filmmaker behind the meta erotic slasher, directed the read-through and served as the narrator of Erin Cressida Wilson’s original “Secretary” script, done with the cast and crew of their upcoming movie. “Teenage Sex and Death” stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson stepped into the lead roles of Lee Holloway (played in the original film by Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Edward Grey (James Spader), giving the original film’s dom-sub dynamic a sapphic spin. Bleemer also introduced Wilson, in attendance with the original film’s cinematographer Steven Fierberg, for a quick conversation about the making of the original film. Before the live read began, Schoenbrun admitted to the audience that they and the cast had about 20 minutes of rehearsal time beforehand.
