Cheryl Nichols doesn't shy away from difficult topics. In her latest feature film, Doula, she and her fiancé, writer and actor Arron Shiver, tell the story of a woman named Deb (Troian Bellisario) and her partner, Silvio (played by Shiver), who hire a male live-in doula following the death of their midwife. As the film's director, Nichols got to focus on the beautiful and ugly parts of pregnancy. In real life, the Little Elm native doesn't have any children of her own, but she'd been intrigued by the topic when Shiver and co-writer Will Janowitz first presented the concept to her years ago.
