The actress, 25, was pictured out and about in the Big Apple the day after Thanksgiving, and looked happy and relaxed as she carried her cute dog Pippi into her hotel.

The Hunger Games star’s outing comes as she revealed sh has her sights set on working behind the camera.

“I’d like to direct a comedy,” she told Entertainment Weekly recently. “I have wanted to direct as long as I’ve wanted to act. I just don’t talk about it because I’d rather just do it.”

The actress, who has been named Entertainer of the Year by the publication, revealed that now the blockbusting franchise has come to an end she will be at the helm of Project Delirium.

She continued: “I’ve signed on to direct something called Project Delirium – it’s based on this article about mental warfare in the ’60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong.

“It’s funny, I’ve wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn’t have been ready. Now I actually feel ready.”

The actress has already announced her plans to write a comedy screenplay with her showbiz BFF Amy Schumer.

“We play sisters,” she told The New York Times in August about the film’s storyline. “We’re almost done writing. It just flowed out of us.”
