My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is the first film in the series to be directed by its creator and star, Nia Vardalos. It’s only the second film Vardalos has directed — the first, I Hate Valentine’s Day, was all the way back in 2009. So, as she prepared herself to step behind the camera for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, Vardalos told us she went through a rigorous routine to get herself back in a directorial groove, and it all started with her script.
