Kiyoko is an actress and singer-songwriter who is adding director to her resume. "Girls Like Girls" was the title of Kiyoko's 2015 song, which she later adapted into a book of the same name in 2025. Now, she's teaming up with Focus Features for a new film.

The new movie is also called Girls Like Girls and is described as "a heartfelt coming-of-age story set over the course of one sun-drenched summer, where new-girl-in-town Coley falls in love for the first time while learning to accept herself along the way." You can watch the trailer below:
