Headline: Anna Kendrick donates proceeds from directorial debut to charity

Caption: The 39-year-old actress directed crime thriller Woman of the Hour, based on the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala who appeared on The Dating Game in 1978. While appearing on the Crime Junkie AF podcast to promote the project, Kendrick revealed she felt uncomfortable profiting from the film which was sold to Netflix for a reported $11m (£8.5m) at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) earlier this year. "It wasn't until the week before TIFF that I thought 'Oh, the movie is going to make money.'”
