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]
