'Are You There God?' Movie Rights Granted To Passionate Fan-Turned-Director

Kelly Fremon Craig was granted the film rights to adapt Judy Blume's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" into a movie.
Fremon Craig convinced Blume to grant the rights through an emotional letter and meeting expressing her passion for the book.
Fremon Craig felt pressure to do justice to the iconic work but aimed to capture the feeling of reading the book.
The film features child actors, improvised lines, and a cameo from Blume.
Fremon Craig had trouble initially reading the book to her son who thought it was just about "boobs."
