Stewart will make her directorial debut with a film adaptation of “The Chronology of Water.”
Actress Kristen Stewart, known for her roles in the “Twilight” saga and recent thriller “Love Lies Bleeding” is set to make her feature-film directorial debut.
Stewart will be adapting Lidia Yuknavitch’s critically acclaimed memoir “The Chronology of Water”, a story delving into themes that are often considered taboo in mainstream cinema.
In a recent interview with PORTER magazine, Stewart described the film as “about incest and periods and a woman violently repossessing her voice and body”.
She acknowledged the film’s potentially challenging nature, stating that it “is, at times, hard to watch”, but expressed confidence in its ability to captivate audiences, calling it a “thrill ride”.
The original memoir explores similar themes from the perspective of a female artist reflecting on her experiences with grief, sexuality, and self-discovery.
The synopsis details the protagonist’s journey grappling with the effects of extreme grief on her developing sexuality, which challenges societal norms due to her attraction to both men and women.
The story follows her emergence as a writer, navigating through addiction, self-destruction, and ultimately finding survival through love and motherhood.
Stewart’s transition from acting to directing highlights the contrasting experiences within the film industry.
She acknowledged the shift in creative control, finding the challenges of project development and execution more daunting compared to the actor’s role of serving someone else’s vision.
While acknowledging the initial appeal of being needed in a project, even if it doesn’t resonate personally, Stewart emphasizes her preference for shaping experiences with clear goals in mind, a shift that comes with her directorial debut.
This upcoming project marks a significant step in Stewart’s career, showcasing her artistic evolution and willingness to explore challenging subjects that push the boundaries of conventional filmmaking.
