Work in Progress with Sophia Bush features frank, funny, personal, professional, and sometimes even political conversations with people who inspire Sophia about how they’ve gotten to where they are, and where they think they’re still going. These discussions stem from her "aha" moment of realizing you are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.

Power couple Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne are talented multi-hyphenates who can do it all! Comedy, acting, writing, producing, and now directing!

The duo joins Sophia to chat about co-directing their first feature film, "Am I OK?" starring Dakota Johnson. The film follows the journey of a woman who doesn't realize until her 30s that she is gay, a story that Sophia and Stephanie admit they can relate to.

Stephanie and Tig also discuss how the project came to them, what it was like working together and calling the shots, and the story of how they met and fell in love! It's a meet-cute involving a Canadian wool sweater -- that coincidentally Sophia also has in her wardrobe! 

"Am I OK" is streaming now on Max.
