We all know and love Brie Larson the actress, but this fall we’re going to meet Brie Larson the director. The Oscar winner’s feature directorial debut “Unicorn Store” is officially world premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival next month, and it should be one of the more high profile acquisition titles given its director and star-studded cast, including Samuel L. Jackson, Joan Cusack, and Bradley Whitford.

After winning an Academy Award for her performance in last year’s “Room,” Brie Larson is one of the most sought-after performers in Hollywood. In addition to increasingly high-profile roles onscreen, she’s also leveraging her status by directing the upcoming comedy “Unicorn Store.” Her step behind the camera isn’t exactly unprecedented — Larson has has co-written and -directed two short films already, the first of which, “Weighting,” played at South by Southwest in 2013. Watch it below.

"She wants to go. He wants her to stay. Neither gets quite what they want." This is the basic premise for a charming relationship inspired short film called Weighting. The short was written and directed by Dustin Bowser and Brie Larson. Larson also stars in the film along side Satya Bhabha. I thought the film was fantastically creative and original. Apparently, there is only one cut in the film as well. I hope you enjoy this just as much as I did.
