Marla Gibbs Excited For Mildred 4 a Million Movie Release

Published on 2 weeks ago 170 Views 0 Comments

NEWS x MUSE Michael Sandoval talks with director Kimmie Callaway and the legendary actress Marla Gibbs about their new short film, Mildred 4 A Million.

Mildred is pulling out all the stops in anticipation of her great-grandchildren coming to visit: ironing napkins, polishing silver, pulling out the fine china, baking Snickerdoodles and making her famous Jell-O salad.

Unfortunately, the visit is highly anticlimactic. Mildred’s granddaughter Britney is distracted by work emails, the 5-year-old twin boys wreak havoc on the formal setup, and Stella Jean, the 7-year-old great-granddaughter that Mildred was especially excited to connect with (they share the same middle name!) is buried in her tablet.

As they say their goodbyes, Britney mumbles apologetically to Mildred “Good luck getting her attention without a million followers on TikTok…” The next day, that’s exactly what Mildred sets out to do.

Mildred’s mail carrier Krystal helps her set up the TikTok account @Mildred4aMillion, then Mildred hits the grocery store, passing out her handwritten handle and asking strangers “Excuse me, would you mind following me on TikTok? It’s for my great-granddaughter.”

When asking folks in person only amounts to 7 followers, Mildred leans on her super cool physical therapist Andre for more guidance, and he breaks down the “9 ways folks are getting famous on the internet.” Mildred starts down the list:

She tries 1. SINGING, 2. DANCING, 3. COOKING, 4. putting on MAKEUP, 5. UNBOXING (vitamins,) 6. playing VIDEO GAMES (Solitaire,) and is only up to 48 followers, so opts for Hail Mary with a 7. STUPID STUNT: Mildred steals a motorized shopping cart from the grocery store to go “off-roading,” but tips the cart over and breaks her arm!!

When all seems lost, Mildred jokes with Andre that with her arm broken she can’t make an 8. SEX TAPE, so she’s left with only one option – the option she never believed would get any attention – 9. JUST TALKING…
