The movie, which stars "American Pie" actor Seann William
Scott, tells the story of a man who wants to go back to his
hometown to make amends before killing himself.
Cox, known for her roles in television series "Cougar Town",
comedy hit "Friends" and the "Scream" horror movie franchise,
said taking the director's chair for the first time for a
feature film was "a natural transition".
"I've been doing this for so long and watching and getting bored
during certain things and noticing how it's made more as time
went on," she said at the premiere of the film on Monday.
"It's perfect for someone who kind of suffers from acute
awareness like I do and I love directing. It's something I'll
keep doing."
Cox was joined on the red carpet by her fiance, Snow Patrol
alternative rock band member Johnny McDaid, as well as her
ex-husband, U.S. actor David Arquette and their daughter Coco.
"She's a master. She's done it a long time. She does a lot of
"Cougar Towns"," Arquette said. "She's directed some short
films. To see her make the leap into a really wonderfully huge
heart indie film, it's a lot of fun."
"Just Before I Go" opens in U.S. cinemas on April 24.
