In Girl Flu, Jade Pettyjohn stars as Bird, a sharp and sensitive young woman navigating one of the most awkward, transformative weeks of her adolescent life. When she unexpectedly gets her first period in front of her entire school, Bird is thrown into the chaos of growing up—while her unpredictable, free-spirited mother, Jenny (played by Katee Sackhoff), struggles to offer the support she needs. Set against the backdrop of L.A.’s Echo Park, this heartfelt coming-of-age comedy explores adolescence, identity, and the messy, beautiful bond between mother and daughter. Jade Pettyjohn delivers a standout performance in this honest and refreshingly funny look at becoming a woman.
