'The Interview': Kristen Stewart Wants to Show Us a Different Kind of Sex

What It Covers

Kristen Stewart discusses directing her first feature film The Chronology of Water, exploring female storytelling, sexuality in cinema, and rejecting Hollywood's committee-driven filmmaking process.

Key Questions Answered

• •Studio filmmaking barriers: Test screenings with numbered equations for jokes and ten male executives over fifty deciding queer character appearances destroy authentic storytelling through committee oversight.
• •Financial independence strategy: Twilight's success provided enough money to avoid security-driven career choices, enabling artistic freedom to reject profitable but creatively stifling studio projects permanently.
• •Female performance double standards: Male actors receive praise for method acting and retaining self-control on set, while women displaying similar behavior get labeled crazy or difficult.
• •Alternative film financing: Stewart plans to make her next movie for zero payment to prove valuable cinema can exist outside capitalist structures that exclude marginalized voices.
