Sex and A Girl is a 1970s coming-of-age dramedy about a teenage girl with dreams of becoming a ballerina while struggling with the divorce of her kooky parents. It is 1979, and sixteen-year-old Alex is a senior in high school. All her friends are losing their virginity, and she is being pressured to join the club. Meanwhile, Alex’s family is falling apart. Their house, which is more like a commune than a home, begins to unravel. Alex’s mother and father separate, and her mother and best friend, Clarice, goes off the deep end sexually. She begins exploring lots of new relationships with different men.

Written and directed, and produced by filmmaker Drew Ann Rosenberg, Sex and A Girl was produced by Drew Ann Rosenberg, Robert Hays, and John Walcutt. Sex and A Girl features an ensemble cast, including Soleil Moon Frye (‘Alissa’), Alison Lohman (‘Camelia’), Angela Gots (‘Alex’), Sean Flynn (‘Scott’), Genevieve Bujold (‘Natalie’), Robert Hays (‘Dan’), and Ellen Greene (‘Clarice’).

”I’m incredibly excited to announce the twentieth-anniversary release of our film, Sex and A Girl,” said filmmaker Drew Ann Rosenberg. “Set in the 1970s, it’s a timeless story that will appeal to viewers of all ages; an homage to the late Judy Blume, a writer whose stories gave me, along with many other teenagers, a safe space to explore issues dealing with sexuality, puberty, divorce, and bullying in a non-judgmental, funny and honest way. Enjoy the ride!”
