In Chosen Family, Heather Graham takes on the triple role of writer, director, and star, crafting a heartfelt comedy about the challenges of family dynamics, relationships, and personal growth. Graham, along with co-stars Julia Stiles and Thomas Lennon, speaks with Kyle Meredith about their roles and the process of making the film. Listen now.

Stiles, who plays Anne’s troubled sister, delivers a powerful performance as a recovering addict with deep anger issues. The 10 Things I Hate About You actor expressed how much she enjoyed the catharsis of playing such a volatile character. Stiles also reflected on working with Graham, especially as both women have recently ventured into directing (Stiles' Wish You Were Here is currently in post production), and how they supported each other through the challenges of independent filmmaking.

Reno 9-1-1 alum Lennon, who portrays one of Ann’s best friends in Chosen Family, offered insight into his own philosophy on creating opportunities in Hollywood. “Waiting for permission from somebody is not something I’m big on,” he said, echoing Graham’s approach to forging her own path in the industry.
