Kristen Stewart to direct first feature-length film
Twilight-famed star Kristen Stewart is turning towards directing movies. The 26-year-old star told in an interview that she’s working on a full-length movie following her directorial debut with the short film Come Swim at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Stewart directed Come Swim as part of Refinery29’s female-focused Shatterbox Anthology series. She voiced her continued interest in directing while discussing the short film at An Evening with Kristen Stewart” during the New York Film Festival in October.
“That is the most satisfying thing I have ever done,” the star said of directing. “As an actor, you’re like a little thing that can help everyone feel this, but when it comes from you — it’s like validation in the most ultimate. You’re not alone. Like, ‘I see you, girl. I see you, and I get it.’” Stewart said.
