Watch Grace Vanderwaal in New “Stargirl” Movie Trailer (VIDEO)

Grace Vanderwaal Star Girl 1

America’s Got Talent 2016 winner, singer/songwriter Grace Vanderwaal is about to make her film debut in a new movie, Stargirl, set to premiere on the Disney+ streaming service on March 13.  This tender and offbeat coming-of-age story based on the critically-acclaimed, New York Times’ best-selling young adult novel about an unassuming high schooler who finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl, whose unconventional ways change how they see themselves…and their world.

Leo Borlock (Graham Verchere) is an average student at Mica High School. He gets decent grades, is a member of the school’s marching band and has always been content flying under the radar. But all that changes when he meets Stargirl Caraway (Grace VanderWaal), a confident and colorful new student with a penchant for the ukulele, who stands out in a crowd. She is kind, finds magic in the mundane and touches the lives of others with the simplest of gestures. Her eccentricities and infectious personality charm Leo and the student body, and she quickly goes from being ignored and ridiculed to accepted and praised, then back again, sending Leo on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. A celebration of individuality, kindness and the power of the human spirit.

Grace was 12 years old when she appeared on AGT, charming audiences with her quirky original music. After the show, she signed a recording deal with Columbia Records, releasing Perfectly Imperfect EP in 2016, Just the Beginning LP in 2017, and another EP, Letters Vol. 1 in November 2019.

Stargirl is directed by Julia Hart from a screenplay by Kristin Hahn and Julia Hart & Jordan Horowitz based on the novel by Jerry Spinelli. The film stars singer/songwriter Grace VanderWaal in her film debut, Graham Verchere, Karan Brar, Maximiliano Hernandez, Darby Stanchfield and Giancarlo Esposito
