Actor Dakota Johnson is planning to direct her first feature, from a script written by Cha Cha Real Smooth actress Vanessa Burghardt. Speaking at the Kering Women in Motion conversation event alongside her TeaTime Pictures producing partner Ro Donnelly on Monday at Cannes, Johnson opened up about her plans to go behind the camera, as per Deadline. 

She said, "The girl that plays my daughter [in Cha Cha Real Smooth], Vanessa Burkhart, she is an autistic actress and musician and brilliant person, and we have been working with her on developing a script. She`s written a script, and it`s really special, and it`s about a young woman with autism. I feel very protective of her and her story in her mind, she`s just an unbelievable woman. I just don`t think I could allow anyone else to direct it. So we`ll see."
