, best known for her star turns and supporting roles in “Batman Begins” and “Wonder Boys,” has, in recent years, spent more time behind the camera. In 2016, Holmes made her feature directorial debut with the mother-daughter drama “All We Had,” and during the pandemic she has directed two features, “Alone Together” and “Rare Objects.” The former film, a love story set during lockdown, recently had its world premiere at Tribeca.
As she seeks out more opportunities to put her artistic stamp on projects, Holmes has allied herself with a team of indie film vets, Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman and Jesse Korman of Yale Entertainment, who produced the likes of Mayim Bialik’s “As They Made Us” and the upcoming Antonio Banderas-Jaime King thriller “Code Name Banshee.” Together they have formed, a production label committed to all things Holmes.
For Beckerman, working with Holmes came out of a desire to “find people who have a vision and a voice and who want to tell good stories. We want to empower Katie to do her best work.” And the same applies to the number of films that get made under the Lafayette banner. “We want to do as many as we can without forcing anything,” says Yale Levine.
