Grace Park

Prior to Hawaii Five-0, Grace Park was beloved by audiences for her starring role on the critically acclaimed series Battlestar Galactica, in which she played not one, but two leading roles. Her performance in the season one cliffhanger garnered her a place in TV Guide’s “100 Most Memorable Moments in TV History.” The series received a Peabody Award in 2006 and has been named one of television’s best shows by Rolling Stone, TV Guide, The New York Times Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and Newsday. Park earned a nomination for Outstanding Newcomer Award in 2006 by the “Asian Excellence Awards” for her work in the series.

For her role on Hawaii Five-0, Park brought to life the iconic role of Kono Kalakaua (not as a man as originally written, but as a woman!) and was nominated in both 2011 and 2012 for a “Teen Choice Award” for Choice TV Actress: Action. In 2010, she received the “Achievement Award in Entertainment” by the KoreAm Awards. In 2014, Park was honored with the “Asian Hall of Fame Award” and “APEX Inspiration Award.”

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Canada, Park received a degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia before turning her attention to film and television. Early on, she was cast in the Canadian teen drama Edgemont as she pursued her dramatic studies. Years later Park would return to the Canadian airwaves starring in the television series The Border, for which she was nominated for a “Gemini Award” for Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role. In addition, her credits include the acclaimed cable series The Cleaner, starring opposite Benjamin Bratt. Also, Park appeared in the stage production of The Boys Next Door, and, most recently, she starred in A Million Little Things on ABC/Hulu.

One thing young Cecil was sure of from the minute she saw Star Wars was that she was going to be some kind of artisté. Probably a filmmaker. Possibly Steven Spielberg. Then, in 1980, the movie Fame came out. Cecil wasn’t allowed to see that movie. It was rated R, and she was ten. But she did watch the television show and would pretend with her friends that she was going to that school. Of course they were playing. She was not. She was destined to be an art school kid.

Chronicling the life of award-winning young adult novelist and Eisner-nominated comics scribe Cecil Castellucci, with art by some of the most original illustrators in comics, Vicky Leta, Jon Berg, V. Gagnon, and Melissa Duffy taking on different era of her life, Girl On Film follows a passionate aspiring artist from a young age through adulthood to deeply examine the arduous pursuit of storytelling, while exploring the act of memory and how it recalls and reshapes what we think we truly know about ourselves.

Your First Look at Cecil Castellucci’s Graphic Novel Memoir Girl on Film

BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at Girl on Film, an original graphic novel memoir from award-winning young adult novelist and Eisner-nominated comic book writer, Cecil Castellucci, illustrated by artists Vicky Leta, Melissa Duffy, V. Gagnon, and Jon Berg, available in November 2019. 

In 1977, Star Wars released in theaters nationwide and changed young Cecil Castellucci’s life forever. From that moment on, she knew that she would one day become a storyteller who brought her own imagination to life. Thus began the evolution of the young starstruck fan into an aspiring theater kid (whose high school friends were Jennifer Aniston and Chaz Bono), a teenage artiste running wild in ‘80s New York, an indie musician in the Montreal punk scene, and finally the acclaimed author and bestselling comic book writer she is today. Girl on Film brings those memories to life on the page, and then asks us to examine just how time and perspective can color those memories.

Girl on Film will be available for sale November 13, 2019 at local comic book shops and on November 19, 2019 at bookstores.
