Newton Elementary Schooler Has Role in New Film

NEWTON, MA – Three years ago, a Newton resident landed her first major movie role – at the age of 5. Now 8, Memorial-Spaulding student Giani Boerner will watch herself in "We Don't Belong Here," starring Catherine Keener, Riley Keough and the late Anton Yelchin.

Boerner plays a younger version of the character played by Keough, a member of the dysfunctional Green family. The movie was filmed in Boston, according to the Newton TAB.

The film premiered April 4 and stars Yelchin in his final film role. Boerner and her mother recently talked acting, starring in an R-rated movie and Elvis Presley, actress Keough's real-life grandfather, in an interview with the TAB.
