JACKSON, Tenn. — At only 18, one Tennessee native is starring in a thriller drama.
Lily Brooks O’Briant, from Memphis, will star in Lifetime’s ‘Killing the competition.’
This movie also stars Mellissa Joan Hart who plays O’Briant’s mother who is living her life vicariously through her daughter, Emily.
O’Briant says this movie pushed her out of her comfort zone because her character is a dancer and she isn’t.
Her family and friends have continued to share how proud they are of her for securing this role.
“Throughout this movie we see Grace kind of just trying to do whatever her mom wants her to do, because she wants to make her mom happy.

Throughout the movie and towards the end we really see Grace stick up for herself,” said O’Briant…
