The untitled series is based on her relationship with her father. Graziano says that it’s a “father/daughter love story” and takes a look at the relatable ups and downs and sometimes strained relationship that a girl has with her dad.
On the unscripted side, she has a number of projects in development.
She will also lend production services to outside creators and producers. Graziano is a principal partner, alongside Rudy Vegliante and Mark Welch, in Lehigh Studios, a 150,000 square foot facility that is in development that will have six sound stages and AR wall technology.
