Grace Wethor

CEO of GRAE Entertainment

Grace Wethor is an award-winning actress, director, bestselling author, & brain cancer legislation advocate. After being diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumor at age 13, she moved to Los Angeles and began pursuing her dreams in film with full force. She gave her first TED Talk at age 15, released her first book at 16, spoke at the United Nations at 17, and released her first docu-series at 18. Her most recent book, Seven Thompson & the Art of Remembering, went viral with over 10 million views and hit multiple bestseller lists around the world. She is now a brain cancer/pediatric health legislation advocate and has made her way to the White House & Capitol Hill while spearheading bills that would bring over $100m in funding to youth healthcare. Ten years later and still fighting, she hopes to use film to tell unseen stories & show other young people that they can pursue their dreams despite their circumstances or illness.

Mad World

Creator: Grace Wethor

Mad World

Creator: Grace Wethor
As a brain cancer survivor who was given an 8% chance of survival, I have been on many unique adventures and often feel as if I have lived multiple lives. Mad World follows a woman on a journey of self-discovery and growth through five different worlds. She meets many flamboyant characters who begin to shape her perspective and allow her to find her true self. This is a story for anyone, young or old, who wants to adventure outside of their comfort zone and eliminate any self-doubt. I hope every viewer can find a bit of themselves in Mad World.
