Music on Player FM

Kyle Meredith sits down with Heather Graham, Julia Stiles, and Thomas Lennon to discuss their latest film, Chosen Family. Written, directed, and starring Heather Graham, the film tells the story of a yoga teacher who grapples with her chaotic family and struggles with boundaries in both her personal and dating life. As Ann, Graham explores the complexities of family dysfunction, relationships, and finding peace amidst the chaos. Stiles portrays Anne's sister, a character battling her own demons, while Lennon plays one of Anne's supportive, albeit quirky, best friends. Graham shares her eight-year journey of bringing Chosen Family to life, reflecting on the themes of friendship, personal growth, and the challenges of stepping into the role of writer-director. Known for his comedic brilliance on shows like MTV's The State and Reno 9-1-1, Lennon touches on the freedom and fun of working on a set where improvisation was encouraged. Stiles highlights the personal connection she felt to the script and how working with Graham has been inspiring as she navigates her own directorial career. The conversation also shifts to music, with each guest revealing their favorite Prince, David Bowie, and R.E.M. tracks.
