EXCLUSIVE: Glamour Studios is partnering and producing alongside director Jessica Dimmock and her production company Tough Tina for a new feature documentary, 28 Days, based on an immersive multimedia package launching Thursday on Glamour.com.
Dimmock will serve as executive producer along with Agnes Chu, Helen Estabrook and Sarah Amos for Conde Nast Entertainment.The doc, which is already in development, will follow the experiences of new mothers and families to see the effects of paid leave — and the lack of it — in people’s lives.
