Kristen Stewart is staying on the Indie path - away from "Twilight"-esque films - with her latest endeavor in the form of a role in Director Kelly Reichardt's as-of-yet unnamed movie.
Stewart adds to the already-distinguished cast of actresses including Academy Award nominees Michelle Williams and Laura Dern, according to A.V. Club.
The "Twilight" star, who is often mocked for portraying an expression-less character, is on a mission to rid her name of that stigma and show viewers that she is capable of producing depth and emotion in any role.
The 24-year-old has already started to accomplish this task and recently won a Cesar award for her performance in "Clouds of Sils Maria," a foreign drama in which Stewart plays an actress' assistant. She also starred in "Camp X-Ray."
The film is set in small-town Montana and Stewart will reportedly play a lawyer from Boise, Idaho, who takes a teaching job several hours from where she lives, A.V. Club reports.
Shortly after, she befriends a woman who is auditing her class, but it is unknown who will play that part.
The cast also includes James Le Gros, Jared Harris of "Mad Men" and newcomer Sara Rodier.
There is no set release date, but the film is due out in 2016.
