Josephine Decker has a plan.

“I have this crescendoing dream of creating a residency for movies without scripts. That’s how I made my short ‘A Stable Marriage.’ We basically had one paragraph, and then we spent a whole day improvising together. It was so much fun and so refreshing,” she tells Variety.

Decker has directed award-winning dramas “Madeline’s Madeline” and “Shirley” with Elisabeth Moss.
