Barrymore ‘started filmmaking training when she was 6’

London: ‘Charlie’s Angles’ star Drew Barrymore says she has been ‘training’ to become a filmmaker since she was six years old.

The stunner stepped behind the camera for the first time to work on the 2009 comedy Whip It. The actress/producer admits her work as a kid with her godfather Steven Spielberg taught her enough the skills of direction. "I handled my godfather`s (Spielberg`s) scripts when I was six years old. I’ve been training for this my whole life, and I’m OK with ``slow and steady wins the race,” she said. "After producing for 15 years, working with all the filmmakers I worked with, learning what I like and don’t like and really immersing myself in the process,” a news daily quoted her as saying. She added: “I felt much more prepared to go walk that plank because I knew what I was walking into. "You still have to be humble and know you’re on a learning curve because directing is a whole other animal, no matter how good a producer you are, or how much you’ve been watching people. To become the captain of a ship is just new territory." ANI
