Courteney Cox feels as if she was meant to be a director.

“I notice everything,” she says. “I love actors, I love people, I love human stories.”

Cox is best known for acting — including marquee roles in “Friends” and in the “Scream” franchise. But she’s long had a hand in directing, from episodes of her sitcom “Cougar Town” to music videos to the 2014 feature “Just Before I Go,” and she stepped behind the camera once again for “Evil Genius,” which debuts as a gala presentation at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival Sept. 12.
