Actress Mackenzie Foy has been acknowledged for her talent since she was a young child. She rose to fame and recognition early in her career as a star of the popular "Twilight" series. In an interview, Foy talked about how her interest in directing was ignited after seeing Bill Condon helm one of the "Twilight" movies.

According to Foy, she was enthralled with the way directors realized their ideas. Through directing, a filmmaker can conjure images in their mind and have total control over how they appear on screen. Foy was intrigued by this concept and saw it as a chance to use her creativity outside of acting.

Foy felt motivated to learn more about the art of filmmaking after comparing the experience to learning to cook after seeing your favorite chef in action. Similar to how watching a talented chef turn ingredients into a mouthwatering dish can inspire a love of cooking, Condon's skill inspired her to become a filmmaker and use visual storytelling to tell stories.

The desire of artists to have greater creative control over their work is reflected in Foy's desire to play a larger part in movies. By talking about her experience, Foy inspires other budding filmmakers to fully explore their passions and experiment with various aspects of filmmaking.
