Former FRIENDS star COURTENEY COX is determined to carve out a career as a director - and has turned to moviemaker DAVID FINCHER to help make her dream come true.
Courteney Cox at The LA Shorts Fest 2009 opening night held at Laemmles Sunset Theatre.
Los Angeles, California - 23.07.09
The actress is set to make her directorial debut with short film The Monday Before Thanksgiving, which premieres at the Los Angeles Shorts Fest 09 on Friday (24Jul09).
Cox admits she is hoping to eventually quit acting to focus on directing movies full time, and she has been taking advice from Fincher, the brains behind Seven, Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
She says, "I would love to direct more, it's perfect for my personality. I just like doing it, I think it's great.
"I actually went to dinner with him (Fincher) and I said, 'David I need help', and we sat down and he gave me four hours of his time. He gave me some guidelines and thoughts and it really helped."
