Heather Graham, who is known for her memorable roles in movies, such as “Boogie Nights” and “The Hangover,” is not only ruling the silver screen but also reshaping it from behind the camera.
Heather Joan Graham, 54, is taking charge as a writer, director, and star of her latest project, “Chosen Family,” an American comedy-drama film. Graham’s journey from actress to director is not as easy as we think. Her passion for storytelling from the female perspective in an industry that has been dominated by men for years has brought her to this stage.
In “Chosen Family,” she plays the role of Ann, a yoga teacher who is trying to find inner peace as her dating life is miserable and her family members are manic. She’s the type of person who doesn’t know how to say no to things and tries to solve everyone’s problems with the support of her friends. With “Chosen Family,” Graham is not just making a film; she’s leading a revolution and rewriting the script on what it means to be a woman in Hollywood.
With VMI Worldwide obtaining the international rights for distributing “Chosen Family,” Graham’s directorial debut is reaching a fever pitch.
One thing is certain: this isn’t the last we’ll hear of her groundbreaking contributions as a director. Hollywood has a new leading lady who’s about to rule the direction field.
