#Bones ctrl alt delete series
She also hopes the series will normalize the conversation about a procedure so many women have - or will - experience. SUSAN HORNIK: How did you decide to come up with this project? Given this latest barrage against reproductive rights, we gathered Katch, Geva and Shondaland alum Brenneman for an honest talk about the series, their own experiences with the shows subject matter, and how a series like CTRL ALT DELETE can help us make sense of what women are going through in the world today. almost six years ago (separately, not together), we had already known each other from our side hustle job back in Chicago.
It was just going to be an afternoon (and it was) and we worked with a friend of mine from high school who was happy to be working on “art for art’s sake.” We decided to make a quick, cheap short just to get stuff on camera for our reels as actors. MARGARET KATCH: But the process of it made us fall in love with filmmaking. Then the short got into a nice film festival. Emboldened by that, we decided to make the very rookie mistake of deciding to work on a feature. We quickly recognized our own idiotic move and conferred. I immediately knew I wanted to make a web series about abortion and that it should be a character anthology. And Roni, of course, insisted that it would be a comedy, which I agreed with. We both had abortions at the same clinic back in Chicago (separately, not together) and at the time, we both (separately, not together) looked to the media to find stories of women like us. Stories to relate to of women who were not fraught, not frightened, totally relieved, and in Roni’s case, who had a legitimately funny experience. So Roni stopped talking about it for years, but I created an anonymous blog and tracked my abortion.
RG: So when we decided to “be the change we wanted to see in ” as it were, it was easy to mine our own stories. Then we took it a step further and interviewed women and men about their experiences as well as clinics. We took all of those stories, fictionalized them, mined the funny and birthed - by choice - CTRL ALT DELETE. SH: Talk to me about the differences between season one and season two. MK: Each episode in season one focused on an individual abortion story. When we were editing it, we realized how much we loved the the arc of the clinic’s employees. And we realized that we really wanted to bring to life a day at an independent abortion clinic - which, turns out, is just the same as any other workplace. So we decided to create what was basically a pilot for a half-hour workplace comedy. SH: How did Amy get involved? What does she bring to the table? RG: We are still telling individual patients’ stories - this season’s story is based on our friend’s second trimester abortion - but we primarily follow the people who work at the clinic, from the doctor who tells knock knock jokes to the counselor with a passion for the zero population growth movement, to the intern who thinks there’s a bomb in a pizza box. MK: I am friends with Carrie Coon, who knows Amy from The Leftovers. Carrie knows how passionate Amy is about reproductive rights, so she connected us. Amy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as her incredible passion about this subject.ĪMY BRENNEMAN: Yesterday, I made a sign for the rally that said: “I am a good mother now because I had an abortion then.” I stood with my husband at my side.
