Rain Spencer

I guess.

But i- it's interesting, Rain Spencer, the actress who plays Taylor, who seems like a delightful person, [laughs] uh, was just a, a brief, like, carpet interview with fashion shows in Paris or something, was, you know, she confirmed the movie is finished, and I don't know anything else about it.

And, and then she was asked like, "Well, what do you, you know, what do you hope for Taylor?" And one of the things she said was that, "Well, I hope Taylor grows up." And I was like, yeah, nail on the head, and that is exactly right.

I hope she grows up.

I'm gonna be talking with...

You're gonna hear from writer-director Paloma Schneiderman, and stars Annie Palmer and Rain Spencer about their New Zealand coming-of-age story Big Girls Don't Cry.

With Jane Campion serving as an executive producer, Paloma wrote and directed this queer coming-of-age story with Annie Palmer as a 14-year-old Syd and Rain Spencer as the free-spirited Freya.

And you've also got Noah Taylor in here rounding out the cast as Syd's dad.

Big Girls Don't Cry opens in New Zealand cinemas and gets a US screening in Los Angeles and New York on October 8th, 2026, with more play dates to follow.

He's also one of the producers on the film, and an American actress named Rain Spencer.
