Kristen Stewart Gets Real About Her Directing Dreams

Kristen Stewart has been super open about how hard it’s been to get her first movie as a director made. Even though she’s a massively successful actor, finding the money to fund her project called “The Chronology of Water” has been an uphill battle.

Stewart even said she won’t take another acting job until her film gets made, showing just how committed she is to making this deeply personal dream a reality.

Learning From the Best of the Best

While Stewart keeps pushing to direct her film, she’s been learning her craft by working with some of the most creative and visionary directors out there. Her latest movie, “Love Lies Bleeding,” is an edgy romantic thriller made by the talented up-and-comer Brit Rose Glass.

Stewart raved about the experience, praising Glass for her bold, unwavering choices and firm control over the wild, crazy production. As an actor now, Stewart admits she’s gotten a bit picky about which directors she’ll work with, only fully trusting those with a really clear, strong vision.

An Actor’s Take on Directing

For Stewart, getting to see Glass in action provided valuable lessons on the art of directing that she hopes to use for her films one day. She says it’s so important for directors to create an environment where actors feel comfortable giving themselves over to the director’s vision.

Stewart loved how Glass could be delicate yet commanding, describing it as a “quite female” quality that allowed the planned chaos on set to flourish. Stewart’s goal is to form that same symbiotic bond with her actors, blending their instincts to bring one unified creative vision to life.

Even as Kristen Stewart keeps running into roadblocks on her path to directing, she couldn’t be more passionate about soaking up every lesson from the brilliant filmmakers she works with. With her tireless spirit and unique perspective as both an actor and future director, Stewart is more than ready to make her mark behind the camera as she has in front of it.
