Media Corespondent Michael Maceo interview with Executive Producer, Andre Gaines  Discuss New HBO Series The Lady and The Dale

The Genre-Bending Documentary Series ‘The Lady and The Dale’ Detailing The Rise And Fall Of 70’s Transgender Entrepreneur Elizabeth Carmichael And Her Radical Three-Wheeled Car Debuted 

When independent producers Andre Gaines and Allen Bain got an email from then screenwriter Nick Cammilleri about a project called “The Lady and The Dale,” following the rise and fall of 1970’s transgender entrepreneur Elizabeth Carmichael and her radical fuel-efficient, three-wheeled car known as The Dale, they knew it was the type of project they had to get their hands on.

The three developed the project for more than a year-and-a-half before sharing it with Emmy®-winning producers of HBO’s Room 104 and Amazon’s Transparent, Mark and Jay Duplass who are repped at the same agency as Gaines. Within days, the Duplass brothers were in, and together, the team pitched the four-part documentary series to HBO, who bought it within weeks. The Lady and The Dale is a probing exploration of family and identity seen through the lens of a fearless and wily innovator, an extraordinarily resilient woman, and a dedicated parent. The story is told using archival material with photo collages and animation to illustrate Carmichael’s experiences.

The Lady and The Dale debuted with two back-to-back episodes on HBO on SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with new episodes on subsequent Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. THE LADY AND THE DALE is also available to stream on HBO Max.
