You never forget your first. After years of writing, editing, and performing with the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York, Maggie Carey is making her feature film debut with The To-Do List. Aubrey Plaza plays Brandy Clark, a high school valedictorian who takes college prep to a whole new level by creating a 'to do list' of sexual experiences she wants to have before leaving for college. Carey set the story in her hometown of Boise in 1993, and admits it's pretty biographical. So why did she want to make a film about a part of her life that most people might want to forget?
