Mayim Bialik made her directorial debut with the movie “
As They Made Us
.”
The film stars

and Dustin Hoffman.
It tells the story of a divorced mom trying to care for her ailing father.
Bialik revealed that the story is a personal one.
After her father died in 2015, Bialik began writing to cope with her grief.
“And literally, I ended up with a screenplay,” she said. “I’ve never written one before.”
That being said, she doesn’t think of her movie as a film about loss.
She said it’s the story about what happens between siblings in families with mental illness.
