“Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to speak with your mouthful?” Magnolia Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for the indie film Maddie’s Secret, a unique creation from the mind of the comedian / actor John Early. This is his feature directorial debut – he wrote and produced and directed this, and also stars in it as the lead charcter Maddie. After first premiering at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last year, it’s set for a US release in theaters starting in June this summer. A food influencer secretly struggles with bulimia as she navigates online fame, close friendships, and a painful past full of many secrets. Early plays the titular Maddie Ralph, who hits it big when she starts making cooking videos online.
