Zoë Kravitz is finally dipping her toes in directing films, and for someone who has been in the industry for a long time,Blink Twiceis a dream come true. It’s fair to say that she has every advantage in her career because of her status as a nepo baby, but working on this project made her realize one thing that separates actors from the rest of the crew.
While this is her first stint behind the camera, she already has enough knowledge about the inner workings of creating films in Hollywood. She’s no stranger to the pressure and chaos that happen on movie sets.
Zoë Kravitz Argues Actors Are Sheltered From The Realities Of Filmmaking
Blink Twiceis a movie that sends a powerful message because of its origin concept.Zoë Kravitz, on her directorial debut, planned a film based on a certain emotion rather than an idea. It’s the feeling of exploring power and taking it back, especially from a woman’s perspective.
There are only a handful of renowned female directors in Hollywood, andThe Batmanstar believes the world is much harsher for them than their male counterparts. While discussing this withCollider, it dawned on Kravitz “how sheltered actors are from the reality of filmmaking” – which she doesn’t completely consider a bad thing.
For one, being unaware of how tumultuous the behind-the-scenes are will allow actors to focus solely on their performances. Some directors have this style of filmmaking where the cast members are kept oblivious to certain matters for varied reasons. “I think that might be good,” says Kravitz as she sees it a blessing in disguise.
However, she failed to mention that it can also be a curse. Not having enough knowledge of the actual life cycle of movie productions can catch one off-guard. It’s always best to come prepared in any situation, and actors should also familiarize themselves with the struggles of working behind the camera.

This is not to belittle the efforts of actors whatsoever. As the face of the movie, they also have enough responsibility. Kravitz knows this, and that’s why she mentioned in the conversation how she wished the directors she has worked with before had told her about this.
Why Zoë Kravitz’s Movie Changed Its Title
Kravitz relayed that her struggle working on the film took many years. After a series of revisions, she maintained the original title:P*ssy Island. Because of its provocative nature, she had to tone it down, or else, it won’t get a release. This is one of the realities of filmmaking that she pointed out.
