In writer-director Heather Graham’s Chosen Family, Ann (Graham) is constantly worrying about other people, including her sister Clio (Julia Stiles), fresh out of rehab and still struggling. Her supportive group of friends are excited when she meets what seems like the perfect man, Steve (John Brotherton), who comes with one unfortunate catch: his seven-year-old daughter Lily (Ella Grace Helton), who has no intention of allowing Ann any semblance of peace with her father.
Awards Buzz spoke with Stiles about connecting with Clio and how she chose to approach the character. Watch the video above to hear what it was like working with her director costar and how that influenced her own upcoming debut behind the camera.
Chosen Family debuts in theaters and on demand on Friday, October 11th.
