Former Film student Will Graham (CC '02) is set to direct the Vietnam War thriller Trust the Man, which he also wrote. The film will star BAFTA nominee Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter franchise) and Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea).
The thriller follows an ambitious Army Intelligence officer during the Vietnam War assigned to investigate a decorated soldier with a mysterious past. As surveillance and interrogation deepen, the line between loyalty and obsession blurs, leading both men into a dangerous and uncontrollable connection. The project was presented at the Berlin International Film Festival's European Film Market in February and has been acquired for domestic sales by UTA Independent Film Group and for international sales by Neon International.
Graham will produce the film alongside Max Linsky for Invitation Media. Jeffrey Soros and Luke Rodgers are also producing for LA Media Fund, along with Hailey Wierengo and Tonia Davis.
In addition to writing and directing Trust the Man, Graham's credits include directing an episode of Daisy Jones & The Six, for which he received an Emmy nomination. He also directed an episode of A League of Their Own, which he co-created with Abbi Jacobson, and worked on Mozart in the Jungle. Earlier in his career, Graham was one of the founders of the Onion News Network and directed a segment of the anthology film Movie 43.
