Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

Kristin Stewart's directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, just had its world premiere at the cann Film Festival, and in the chat they're moderated by Variety, Kristen used it as an opportunity to dispel some of the myths about filmmaking that she says hold women and creatives back by instilling limited beliefs in their voice and ability, saying, there's this fallacy that you have experience of some sort of technical adeptness and it's safeguarding the business. It's a real male perspective. She adds, as if it's this difficult thing to do, anyone can make a movie if they have something to say. There's no amount of learning or.

Skilled that's just a lie.

If you can just feel allowed to communicate, to get in touch with something that wants to come out, a film will come out of you.

I can't wait for the next one. The words of Kristin Stewart.

Explaining the organic and eye opening experience of directing her first film, The Chronology of Water, do out later this year.

That's Direct from Hollywood,
