Re-Election (2025) Movie Interviews: Adam Saunders & Cast on Identity, Second Chances & Tony Danza

Adam Saunders, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Kym Whitley, and Patty Guggenheim talk Re-election (2025)! In these interviews, Tessa Smith (Mama’s Geeky) sits down with the cast and creators behind Re-Election, a heartfelt indie film that surprises in the best possible way. What begins as a fun, nostalgic comedy slowly transforms into something deeply emotional and meaningful — a movie that sneaks up on you and leaves you unexpectedly teary-eyed by the end. Across these interviews, we speak with Adam Saunders (writer, director, producer, and star), Bex Taylor-Klaus (who plays Noa), Kym Whitley (Donna), and Patty Guggenheim (Shawna), diving into how Re-Election balances humor, vulnerability, and reflection. Adam opens up about the challenge — and freedom — of wearing so many creative hats at once, explaining how creating a safe, relaxed environment on set allowed the cast to fully explore their characters without fear or tension. One of the most powerful conversations centers on Noa, the heart of the film. Bex Taylor-Klaus discusses what it meant to portray a capable, confident, non-binary character whose journey isn’t defined by bullying or cruelty, but by self-realization and growth. Noa’s story resonates not just for non-binary viewers, but for anyone who grew up feeling different, unseen, or unsure of their own strength — a theme that runs through every character in the film. Kym Whitley and Patty Guggenheim talk about being drawn to the film’s throwback 80s- and 90s-inspired tone, its focus on second chances, and the joy of working with a cast that genuinely supported one another. The discussion also touches on parenting, high school pressures, identity, acceptance, and why Re-Election is connecting so strongly with teens, parents, and adults alike. The interviews wouldn’t be complete without celebrating Tony Danza, whose presence brought warmth, mentorship, and legendary energy to the production. Adam and the cast share stories about working with him, his generosity on set, and the lasting impact he had on the project — both professionally and personally. Re-Election (2025) is a film about people standing in their own way, learning to release regret, and understanding that growth happens when we stop trying to rewrite the past and start embracing who we are in the present. These interviews explore the heart behind the story, the passion that fueled it, and why it’s a movie families should watch together. Re-Election is available to rent or purchase on Amazon and Apple TV.
