(CNN)A trailer for Mayim Bialik’s directorial debut, As They Made Us, has been released.
The film, which centers on a dysfunctional family with a dying father, was also written by the “Jeopardy” host.
Bialik told USA Today that she began writing the film after her father’s death in 2015. The film stars are Dianna Agron, Dustin Hoffman and Candice Bergen.
“I look at it all as this wonderful accident,” Bialik told the publication. “There is a very specific year of mourning that we do in traditional Judaism. After that year, I felt an urge I had never felt before to write down many of my experiences and memories of grief. And literally I ended up with a script. I’ve never written one before.”
Agron plays Abigail, a single mother who takes care of her ailing father. Bergen plays her mother, who denies it.
Bialik’s “Big Bang” co-star Simon Helberg plays her estranged brother.
The film was shot in New Jersey in 2021.
As They Made Us hits theaters and on-demand on April 8th.
