Demi Lovato has officially started directing her first-ever feature film as announced by Hulu on Thursday (March 16).
The pop artist will collaborate with Nicola Marsh to co-direct “Child Star,” a documentary that will “deconstruct the highs and lows of growing up in the spotlight through the lens of some of the world’s most famous former child stars,” according to a press release.
“There is no better film or topic for my directorial debut than this story, which is close to home,” the Disney Channel alum said in a statement. “Our project sheds light on important messages about growing up in the public eye, learning to protect our boundaries, and becoming active advocates of our own destinies. I’m humbled to be able to learn from the individuals who have lived the unique experience of child stardom and share their stories in our film.”

The documentary will also follow the fortunes of several other child stars in addition to Lovato reflecting on her childhood stardom in programs like Barney & Friends, As the Bell Rings, Sonny With a Chance, and more.
It is currently planned to stream on Hulu at some point in 2024.
Besides tapping into the world of directing she has been at the top of her game with her most recent contribution of “Still Alive” to the Scream VI soundtrack. The song is the first release from the non-binary artist’s rock-focused 2022 album, which debuted at No. 1 on the charts for Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums upon its release in August of last year and produced the singles “Skin of My Teeth,” “Substance,” and “29.”
