Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster as we dive into the world of Kristen Stewart's first film as a director, "The Chronology of Water." This adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir promises to be a captivating journey, shedding light on a young swimmer's battle with trauma and addiction.
But here's where it gets controversial... Stewart has taken eight long years to bring this story to life, and the wait is finally over! The film premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, and now, The Forge has acquired the rights to bring it to North American audiences.

"The Chronology of Water" will hit theaters in December, followed by a wider release in January. The cast is an ensemble of talented actors, including Imogen Poots as Yuknavitch, Jim Belushi, Thora Birch, and more. Stewart herself has expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to bring this story to the big screen.
