The `When Harry Met Sally` actress is trying to raise funds so she can direct her first film, which she hopes to begin shooting later this year.

She said: "We`re about to begin casting but the film`s title is under wraps until we get the full financing."

Meg was speaking at the Cannes Film Festival and is using the prestigious event to network with producers and talk about her future movie project.

If her director dream fails to take off, Meg could always fall back on being an interior designer.

The 48-year-old beauty recently showed off her new home which she helped to renovate with Marsha Russell from design firm Satinwood.

The mother-of-two said: "I feel like I`ve been renovating houses my whole life. I`ve renovated apartments, lofts, a log cabin in Montana. I`m constantly ripping pages out magazines in search of inspiration."

Speaking about Meg`s skills, Marsha added: "Meg wanted someone to bounce ideas off and to find things for her. But she`s the visionary on this project. She has a wonderful aesthetic and a great eye."
