Cox will premiere her new film, Just Before I Go, this evening at the Tribeca Film Festival. It is Cox’s directorial debut.
Cox arrived at the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday to attend the Vanity Fair party with her boyfriend, Johnny McDaid, according to the Daily Mail.
It's the first time the 49 year-old actresses has directed a feature-film. The film opens with Cox’s 9-year-old daughter, Coco, singing a song of McDaid's. Later, Coco appears to spray her father, David Arquette, with a hose. As a proud mother, it's Cox's favorite scene.
"I couldn't have cut that out," said Cox, who acknowledges their family dynamics are unusually friendly, according to the Associated Press. "If I needed four seconds, that would be the last four seconds to go."
Although many know Cox as an actress, Cox chose only to direct the new film. Her previous directorial efforts include a short, a Lifetime movie, and 10 episodes of her TBS sitcom, Cougar Town. Cox is known to a TV audience for her roles in Friends, Family Ties, Dirt, and of course, Cougar Town.
