Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has increasingly moved behind the camera in recent years, executive producing HBO series she also starred in, such as "Mare of Easttown" and "The Regime." She also produced the biopic "Lee" and wrote, produced, and starred in the "I Am Ruth" episode of the "I Am..." anthology series. Now, Winslet is set to take on her first feature-length directorial project.
Much like her daughter Mia Threapleton appeared alongside her in "I Am Ruth," Winslet's directorial debut will also feature her child's involvement in the production.
