After a quiet 2023, Kristen Stewart will appear in several movies this year, including the highly anticipated romantic thriller “Love Lies Bleeding,” which is set to premiere in March. However, the actress is also seeking to make her first feature film.
In an interview with Variety prior to 2024 Sundance, Stewart said that she is looking for financial support to finally make her first feature film, an adaptation of “The Chronology of Water,” the 2011 memoir by author Lidia Yuknavitch.
Stewart, 33, said that she won’t make another film until she can finally direct this one, which she announced back in 2018. “I’m going to make this movie before I ever work for someone else,” she told the publication. However, thankfully for her fans, she has already filmed some movies. Check out where to watch her next.
