Netflix Sets All-Star Quarantine Anthology Film with Pablo Larraín, Kristen Stewart, and More
Before Pablo Larraín and Kristen Stewart team up for their Princess Diana biographical drama `Spencer,` the two will be lending their directing talents to Netflix's short film anthology collection `Homemade.` The `Jackie` and `Neruda` filmmaker is behind the Netflix project alongside his brother, Juan de Dios Larraín, and Lorenzo Mieli, CEO of the Fremantle-backed company The Apartment. `Homemade` is set to feature 17 short films helmed by directors from all around the world, including Larraín, Paolo Sorrentino, Ladj Ly, Naomi Kawase, Sebastian Lelio, Ana Lily Amirpour, Kristen Stewart, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Each film in the `Homemade` anthology was made in quarantine using only the equipment each filmmaker had at his or her disposal. In the case of Larraín's short film, that means using the Zoom app to create a conversation-based movie. Plot details for each film are under wraps, although Larraín told Variety that viewers should be prepared to be wowed by Gyllenhaal's short. `It will surprise the whole world,` he said, adding, `All shorts have something [special] but Maggie's is very particular.` Gyllenhaal's short arrives ahead of her anticipated feature directorial debut, `The Lost Daughter.`

For Stewart, her `Homemade` short film marks a follow-up to her directorial debut, `Come Swim.` Sources said there are already numerous offers for Larraín and Stewart's Princess Diana film, which is being presented to the industry at the Marche du Film this week. The short film anthology will be released before production on that project starts next year.



`Handmade` debuts June 30 on Netflix.
