Kristen Stewart Just Directed Her First Feature – And It’s RAW
After years of acting, Stewart finally stepped behind the camera – and the story is WILD.
Kristen’s been dreaming of directing since childhood. But Hollywood didn’t exactly cheer her on.
She recalls being shut down early in her career just for wanting to direct.
The Chronology of Water didn’t happen overnight. It was years of grinding, doubt, and persistence.
The film adapts Lidia Yuknavitch’s raw 2011 memoir. Kristen felt this story deep in her bones.
She literally completed the movie moments before flying to Cannes.
Kristen compared making her first film to being in labor: a long pregnancy, then bloody chaos.
The lead role went to the talented Imogen Poots, who delivers a powerful, raw performance.
