Alison Brie Making Her Directorial Debut With Female-Driven Horror Film She Co-Wrote With Alice Stanley Jr.
Alison Brie is coming off her latest acting gig in the horror film Together, in which she starred opposite her husband, Dave Franco.
Her next undertaking is another horror flick, but this time, she will make her directorial premiere. Brie wrote the script for the film alongside Alice Stanley Jr., and they describe the story as being “female-forward” with “very fun energy.”
Brie talked to Marie Claire about the project, and explained, “While we were writing it, I felt like I was writing it to direct it. I could see every shot in my head. I think women carry a lot of self-doubt and we have a desire to make everything perfect before we attempt something, or we learn everything we can learn. You want to really check the boxes and go, am I prepared for this? And at a certain point you have to just take the leap and believe in yourself.”
Stanley, who previously wrote for Busy Philipps’ E! talk show Busy Tonight in 2019, made Out In Hollywood’s Out Loud List last year for her unproduced TV pilot script Twin Pinks. Brie previously directed a 2019 episode of her Netflix series GLOW.
