Rowan Blanchard on Filmmaking | COVETEUR

COVETEUR: Where do you want to take acting from here?

Rowan Blanchard: I guess the ultimate goal—and I was reminded by this by seeing Wanda last night, because it’s the only film made by Barbara Loden that she also starred in—is that I want to make movies. I want to direct. I’ve been acting since I was five, and I think I realized a few years ago that the way that I looked at things while I was acting was not through the lens of an actor, but it was through the lens of a director. I started realizing on sets, when I was 12 or 13, that I wanted to be looking at the entire set, rather than being in it.

COVETEUR: What kind of stories do you want to tell?

Rowan Blanchard: I’ve sort of always loved films that were not, I guess, typical. Or they also don’t feel completely narrative. I want to just make really weird stuff. If you look throughout film history, it sort of stops at a certain point when films started to become—and there’s still those films today, rare and few—but there was a time in the sixties when nearly every film, except for maybe the mainstream ones, was incredibly weird and strange and had multiple layers and didn’t exactly follow a story line that was beginning, middle, end. All of my favorite movies are nonlinear—stuff that doesn’t really have a typical ending, or also doesn’t have to. I feel like films today are so much about resolving, and the movie ends. I would rather make something that trails.

COVETEUR: Why do you like that, do you think?

Rowan Blanchard: I do think it’s more like real life, but it’s also just so interesting because it feels like in every other art form, things can be continuations of—but it just feels like film, as of recently, has been so much about tying up all ends and closing everything off. The stuff that I’ve been most attracted to, since forever, has always just been stuff that you walk out of there still thinking about the movie. I always thought that was the best part of seeing a movie, was when you left and you’re still thinking about it.
