In Lauren Gunderson’s "The Taming", a conservative senator’s aide, a liberal activist, and a beauty queen are locked in a hotel room with one mission: to rewrite the Constitution. This fast-paced political comedy takes sharp aim at America’s deep divides with wit, satire, and unexpected sisterhood. Hilarious, smart, and wildly relevant, "The Taming" proves that even the strangest bedfellows might just change the world.

Directed by Deena Conley
