Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures have come aboard to produce 20th Century Women, the next film from writer-director Mike Mills (Beginners, Thumbsucker). The period drama is about three very different women teaching a boy what men are, what women are, about love and freedom and finding your own form of sanity in 1979 Santa Barbara.
