Will Georgina Chapman Look To Hubby Harvey For Advice On Her Filmmaking Debut?
Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman has moviemaking in the family—her husband is mega-producer Harvey Weinstein—but it’s only recently that Chapman herself has tiptoed into the fray.

She follows in the footsteps of actor and director Ron Howard, who also collaborated with Canon on a film, which was later shown at Sundance and the Tribeca Film Festival. (Howard will serve as Chapman’s mentor on the project.) Perhaps Chapman will be on the red carpet at the next round of film festivals making her debut as a director.
