“Goodbye First Love” writer-director Mia Hansen-Løve revealed information about two new projects in an interview with ScreenDaily.

“Maya” will star Roman Kolinka, an actor Hansen-Løve collaborated with on her most recent film, “Things to Come,” as well as 2015’s “Eden.”

She’s also working on a film “inspired partly” by director Olivier Assayas, her husband. Assayas’ credits include “Personal Shopper” and “Clouds of Sils Maria.” As Indiewire notes, “Hansen-Løve has drawn inspiration from her personal life more than once, including … ‘Eden,’ which is based on her brother Sven’s experiences in the world of electronic music; he co-wrote the script with her.” And “Things to Come,” which made its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, centers on a character (played by Isabelle Huppert) inspired by the French filmmaker’s mother. “Things to Come,” a portrait of a philosophy teacher coping with a philandering husband and the death of her mother, has yet to receive a U.S. release date.

Hansen-Løve is showing no signs of slowing down. She’s released five features in less than ten years — a high number for any director, but particularly big for a female director. She has previously described filmmaking as “a very cathartic process.” When asked about her aspirations, Hansen-Løve has explained, “My inspiration is very often novelistic.” She elaborated, “It relies on literary works and comes from there, which means that I’m more inclined to make a more expensive films, bigger budget films. The evolution, the arc, the storyline that evolves in time and has to do with a real time lapse in the film. Therefore, it means that it will need more expensive production means. I hope to be able to have the freedom to continue to have budgets for those films.”
