Redefining Success: Cris Graves on Filmmaking, Feminism, and Embracing Singleness

In this episode of The Passionistas Project, sisters Amy and Nancy Harrington interview Emmy-winning filmmaker Cris Graves. Cris discusses her passion for storytelling, her feminist journey, and her mission to redefine societal expectations around singleness, especially for women. Growing up in Mexico City and inspired by a diverse cultural background, Cris shares her experiences sneaking onto film sets as a child and her eventual realization of the joyful and fulfilling life of being single. She has directed a short film series and is currently working on her latest project, Alone Girl, a narrative influenced by her personal life and the pressures women face regarding relationships. Cris also introduces her Blissful Spinster brand, including daily affirmation cards, aimed at fostering independence and community. She outlines her dreams for the film and her broader mission to empower women to find joy and resilience within themselves rather than from societal expectations. Learn more about Cris.
