Kelsey Grammer,
Julia Stiles & Director
Austin Stark
Director Austin Stark’s
critically acclaimed
film The God
Committee
starring Kelsey
Grammer, Julia
Stiles and
Euphoria’s
Colman
Domingo is now
on Netflix. The
movie, about the
politics of organ
transplants and
who gets a new
heart and who
doesn’t,
foreshadowed
the front-page news
Director Austin Stark,
Kelsey Grammer, Julia
Stiles & Colman Domingo
about the first person to
receive a heart from a
genetically modified pig,
giving people with
failing organs hope of a
longer life. Grammer,
who plays a doctor in the
film with a heart
condition, said, “I have
done some parts for a
little spending
money but not this
one. I was moved by
the part and
convinced my
director, Austin
Stark, to give me the
lead role instead of
the supporting one he
had originally offered
me.” paperstreetfilms.
