Asserting their independence, no matter what obstacles they’re forced to overcome in the process, is often a powerful way for many people to claim their own identity. While that journey is meant to be invigorating and beneficial to their freedom, they can also realize how important it is to have supportive relationships with people who honestly care about their well-being. That essential benefit of having a loyal bond with someone while searching for liberation is highlighted in the mother-daughter relationship in the new drama, ‘All We Had.’ The movie, which is based on Annie Weatherwax’s 2014 novel of the same name, marks Katie Holmes’ feature film directorial debut.

Is that you, Katie Holmes?! The actress was barely recognizable on the set of her new movie, "All We Had," on location at Walmart in New York City on Tuesday. The 36-year-old was spotted looking worse for wear as she filmed scenes for the flick, rocking a strapless acid-wash denim mini dress and messy curls. In the movie, Katie plays a mother who's struggling to provide for her 13-year-old daughter. The drama is also the "Dawson's Creek" alum's directorial debut. It definitely sounds like Holmes was instantly drawn to the movie too, which is an adaptation of Annie Weatherwax's novel by the same name.

Joey Potter, if there was any doubt you’d make it out of the Creek and make it big, that’s rightly been shattered. Katie Holmes is continuing her streak of pushing haters to the left and taking on unique, out-of-character projects by tackling her directorial debut with All We Had. Variety reports the drama, also a starring vehicle for Holmes, is an adaptation of the recently released Annie Weatherwax novel of the same name, scripted by Josh Boone. Boone’s name may sound familiar, as he just directed the self-refilling teenage pond of tears and despair called The Fault in Our Stars last spring. This means he has ample experience in dealing with misery and emotional mayhem, which will bode well in writing the movie — it’s a story centered upon a mother and her 13-year-old daughter who are struggling to hold their heads above water and escape poverty.

The ranks of female film directors are about to swell a little more, as Katie Holmes confirms her plan to helm the upcoming adaptation of the debut novel from Annie Weatherwax – All We Had. The script is being written by Josh Boone (Stuck In Love, The Fault In Our Stars), with Holmes starring and pulling producer duties alongside Jane Rosenthal (Little Fockers) and Berry Welsh (NYC 22).
The story is described as ‘wry and sharply observed’ by publishers Simon And Schuster, and centres on a mother and 13 year old daughter, who find themselves existing on the verge of poverty in small town America, after their old life implodes. Holmes will play the role of the mother, but there is no news yet on wider casting.
While this news will almost certainly be met in many quarters with derision, it is important to note that, of late, Holmes has finally begun to come into her own.

After making the leap from small screen success in series like "Dawson's Creek" to big films like Batman Begins and The Giver, actress Katie Holmes is ready for a new challenge in the world of film. Variety reports Holmes will now get behind the camera to make her directorial debut with All We Had, a mother-daughter centric drama based on the novel of the same name by Annie Weatherwax. And she'll have help from a recent big screen success with The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone adapting the book. Holmes picked up the rights to the book, the author's first, in July before it was even published. Read on! The book tells the story of a mother and her 13-year old daughter, down on their luck on the brink of poverty, who find their luck might be changing when they end up in a small town called Fat River.

Looks like Joey has beaten Dawson to the director's chair: Katie Holmes will make her directorial debut with All We Had, an adaptation of the Annie Weatherwax novel about a penniless mother and daughter's adventures in pre-crash America. (We haven't read it, but it sounds like Waitress meets Anywhere But Here.) The script will be written by Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars. So: There will probably be plenty of crying. James Van Der Beek, meanwhile, is about to star in CSI: Cyber, coming to CBS this fall.

After signing on to star in an adaptation of the book "All We Had," actress Katie Holmes will also make her directorial debut with the project -- and she's getting some "Fault in Our Stars" power to help out.
Holmes optioned the Annie Weatherwax book -- about a single mother and her 13-year-old daughter living in poverty -- earlier this summer with an eye to play the lead and also produce. But the actress has since decided to take on the directing job as well.
And Holmes now has a big name on her team to write the screenplay: Josh Boone, who directed this summer's hit teen cancer drama "The Fault in Our Stars." Boone is making waves in Hollywood lately, since he's also attached to direct the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's "The Stand."
