Millicent Simmonds Stars in Disability-Led Crime Film

Millicent Simmonds, acclaimed for her roles in "A Quiet Place" and "Pretty Lethal," is set to co-write and star in the new crime thriller titled "Grace." This project marks the inaugural film from Inevitable Studios, the production arm of Inevitable Foundation. The studio is committed to developing commercial films and television that offer unique perspectives through a disability lens.

The film "Grace" is helmed by writer-directors Ari Costa and Eren Celeboglu. While plot details remain confidential, the story will follow a deaf teenager as she unearths violent secrets from her family's past. Costa, Celeboglu, and Simmonds collaborated for three years to develop the script, aiming to authentically capture the experiences of a young deaf girl while exploring themes of love, violence, and forgiveness.

This independent feature is currently in the midst of additional casting. Principal photography is scheduled to commence in early 2027. Simmonds, a BAFTA Rising Star nominee, brings significant acting experience from her roles in "Wonderstruck" and the "A Quiet Place" franchise, and has recently been in production for "A Quiet Place Part III."
