Leslie Grace's Indie Film Success After Batgirl Shelving

Leslie Grace is making a significant impact on the film festival circuit, demonstrating resilience after her role in the shelved Batgirl movie. Her independent film, 'In the Summers,' was awarded the grand jury prize at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Grace is currently featured at the SXSW festival with two new projects: Jonás Cuarón's 'Campeón Gabacho' and Ryan Booth's 'Stages.' She was drawn to 'Campeón Gabacho' for its unique storytelling, which blends an immigrant narrative with fantastical elements.

In 'Stages,' Grace portrays a musician rebuilding her career after a difficult breakup, a theme that resonated deeply with her experiences as a music artist. This role inadvertently helped her rediscover her passion for performing, leading to the upcoming release of her first full-length album in years, 'Amor, Quién Eres?', on May 1.

Grace emphasizes that her various creative endeavors, from acting to music, feel interconnected. She aims to approach her new album as a holistic experience, much like a film, to be consumed in its entirety.
