Nose Candy Podcast and The Institute for Art and Olfaction present Reel Stinkers, a screening series featuring films selected by perfumers for their influence on their practice. The series opens with the rarely screened 1986 after-school special Kate’s Secret (dir. Arthur Allan Seidelman), selected by comedian, writer, director, and perfume creator John Early. Early will join Maddie Phinney and Chloe Coover of Nose Candy to discuss the film’s influence on his own movie and accompanying perfume, Maddie’s Secret.
Melodramatic, unsettling, and funny in spite of itself, Kate’s Secret is part of the potpourri of creative inspiration that gave rise to John Early’s directorial debut, Maddie’s Secret. The 1980s network television special follows “perfect” housewife Kate Stark as she struggles to conceal her eating disorder and maintain the appearance of an idyllic suburban life, and found a second life in the hands of lazy substitute teachers tasked with explaining bulimia in health class.
Perfume-inspired snacks and libations, with a smell session and live Nose Candy Podcast featuring John Early to follow!
