Zoë Saldana Behind the Camera

Eva Longoria, Zoë Saldana and Olivia Wilde were behind the camera for a change as they brought the stories of Glamour magazine to life.

According to WWD, Saldana’s film ‘Kaylien’ is about a schoolgirl who feels like an alien. At the end of the film, it is revealed that the little girl is autistic. Saldana cast Bradley Cooper and Malin Akerman in the story, which was filmed earlier this month.

‘My 7-year-old niece was getting bullied this year, so shedding light on that was very important to me,’ said Saldana. ‘We know a lot of people who have kids with some form of autism, so I wanted that to be part of it.’

‘Then, I wanted to integrate what I love in filmmaking — motion — so I brought some of my colleagues from ‘Avatar,’ including my assistant director, my stunt team, animators and the guys who trained me for the role for help. It took three days to shoot, because even though it’s short, it was the first Glamour film with motion capture, stunts and special effects.’

Sounds like a great film – hope we get to see it in the UK!
