Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer turned a January movie night into a relationship milestone, debuting their first post-wedding project at the Los Angeles premiere of The Chronology of Water.
A Couple’s Creative Debut
Stewart wrote and directed the feature, while Meyer handled producing duties-making the 2220 Arts + Archives event on January 8 both a professional and personal celebration.
The pair posed hand-in-hand, Stewart in a Chanel black-and-white swimsuit layered with baggy trousers and platforms, Meyer countering in a Thom Browne coat, white tee, mini shorts, and Docs.
From Pool to Page
Imogen Poots leads the cast as a 1980s teen who escapes an abusive household through competitive swimming, then charts her adult life through love, loss, addiction, and writing.
Official synopsis highlights:
- Athletic dreams shattered
- Self-destructive impulses confronted
- Voice reclaimed through memoir
- Healing found in creativity
Stewart’s Directorial Lessons
Last November Stewart told News Of Los Angeles the experience taught her that “emotions can diminish the point in environments that are not conducive to listening to women.”
She added:
> It’s okay to be emotional, and it’s fun to be angry when you can turn it into something productive and beautiful.
> If you find the right people to surround yourself with, you don’t have to put a muzzle on.
Key Takeaways
