Directing gives me overarching perspective about filmmaking, says Brie Larson

Oscar winner Brie Larson says turning director with "Unicorn Store" not only made her a better performer, but also gave her an "overarching perspective" about the process of filmmaking.

The actor, who became the first woman to front a Marvel superhero film with "Captain Marvel" and will next be seen in "Avengers: Endgame", said directing made her a better team player.

Based on an original screenplay by Samantha McIntyre, "Unicorn Store" revolves around a woman named Kit (Larson), who after moving back in with her parents, receives a mysterious invitation to a store that will test her idea of what it really means to grow up.

"Directing makes me a much better actor because you see the entire process all the way through. As actors, you just show up. You don't get to be a part of the pre-production as much and not see what everybody does on a team
