(Happy New Year everyone ♥)
So, apparently in this past year Katie has taken part to a project called 'Buttons' (original title 'The Button Girl'), which is a musical film made to support Kate Winslet’s Golden Hat Foundation (an autism awareness project).

From director Tim Janis comes “Buttons”, a new and original, heartwarming musical film. Narrated by Kate Winslet, the film stars Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke, Jane Seymour, Ioan Gruffudd, Katie Mcgrath, Charles Shaughnessy and introduces 11-year old Alivia Clark, Broadway actress Julia Burrows, and 15-year old Devlin Stark. Set in a New England mill town in the early 1900s, this musical fairytale follows the story of Annabelle (Alivia Clark), a young child who has been taught by her mother to believe in Angels and miracles. When tragedy strikes Annabelle’s happy life, she is left broken hearted–until a mysterious Angel (Dick Van Dyke) leads her story to a triumphant and inspiring ending.
The first trailer, along with some stills of the film, have already been shared on the official website.
