Career
Brea Grant originally pitched to direct her own script, Lucky (2020), to Epic Pictures, who recommended Kermani direct instead.[3] Described as a "feminist thriller", the film finished shooting in Los Angeles in July 2019.[4] Lucky (2020) held its International Premiere at Fantasia and screened at FrightFest.[5]
She contributed a segment to V/H/S/85, which debuted October 6, 2023 and became Shudder and AMC+'s most-watched exclusive film premiere, increasing viewership 25% from V/H/S/99.[6] Kermani described it as an opportunity to embrace something, "mean and ugly."[7]
Her latest film, Abraham's Boys, was acquired by RLJE and Shudder in April 2025 ahead of its premiere at the Overlook Film Festival.[8]
