<p>Actress Jenna Ortega, 22, has captured attention not only for her talent on-screen but also for her work behind the scenes. The "Wednesday" star recently shared that she has been writing a script that she wants to direct. She started this project nearly ten years ago, when she first began her acting career.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with "V Magazine", Ortega discussed her long-standing ambition to transition from acting to directing. She plans to write, direct, star in, and produce the film, bringing her full creative vision to life. <em><strong>&ldquo;I have a script that I&rsquo;ve known I was going to make for almost 10 years,&rdquo;</strong> </em>she shared. <strong><em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s interesting because it&rsquo;s something I thought of when I was younger, when I first started in this field. It&rsquo;s only now that I&rsquo;m starting to take the steps to get it made.&rdquo;</em></strong></p>
<p>Her experiences as an executive producer on upcoming projects like<strong><em> "Death of a Unicorn" and "Hurry Up Tomorrow"&mdash;both set for release in 2025&mdash;as well as her work on the next season of "Wednesday"</em></strong>, have contributed to her journey toward directing. <em><strong>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot happening behind the scenes that I wasn&rsquo;t previously aware of. I&rsquo;m just piecing everything together in my mind,&rdquo; Ortega said. &ldquo;I needed a few years of experience to understand how things are done.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>

<p>Despite her plans to direct, Ortega noted that she doesn't envision herself acting in every project she creates. However, for this first film, she intends to step in front of the camera.<em><strong> &ldquo;In this particular case, I do see myself in it, but my primary focus is on directing. That&rsquo;s the main pursuit I want to follow,&rdquo;</strong> </em>she explained. <em><strong>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to be in all the projects I create in the future, but since I&rsquo;m just starting out and gaining more influence through my acting career, I might as well leverage that as a launching pad.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
