Olivia Wilde says the fact that she never went to film school held her back from making her directorial debut until she decided to take the plunge with Booksmart this year. The 35-year-old actor-turned-director has helmed the critically-acclaimed comedy, starring Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein.
“Fear. For a long time, I was insecure that I hadn’t been to film school,” Wilde told when asked about turning director. She also said she would continue to act as she loves learning from other directors. “... Then I realised my career was film school, because I was shadowing brilliant directors, seeing different techniques and asking endless questions, and I continue to do that. That’s why I think I have to keep acting, so I can keep learning,” the actor said.—PTI
