Director Jen McGowan on the unlikely friendship at the center of 'Kelly & Cal'

The new film 'Kelly & Cal' focuses on a woman named Kelly (played by Juliette Lewis), who's just had a baby and moved to a new town. Finding herself lonely and isolated, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with her 17-year-old neighbor Cal (Jonny Weston).

First-time director Jen McGowan won this year's "Gamechanger Award" at SXSW for the film, and joins Take Two to talk about what drew her to the story.
