The "Twilight" saga is coming back as five short films, and not just ordinary short films. They're uniquely coming in as Facebook series. Meyer and Lionsgate, the company behind the production of the movies, have entered into a partnership with Facebook to develop these short films, which would naturally be shown exclusively through the popular social media network in 2015.

Before that happens, however, a talent search for the five deserving female directors to make the short films will first take place. Meyer believes that by inviting female directors to do the films, women would feel more empowered to go after they want, especially in traditionally male-dominated fields such as directing.

The talent search, dubbed "The Storytellers: New Voices of the Twilight Saga," will be hosted on Tongal, as reported by the The New York Times. The contest aims to empower women. Not only are the contestants all females, the panel of judges would feature an all-women ensemble as well. The five directors would be chosen and judged by Stephenie Meyer, Kristen Stewart aka "Bella Swan" of the Twilight franchise and other notable female actors that are not part of the series such as Kate Winslet, Octavia Spence, Julie Bowen, and even Frozen co-director Jennifer Lee. These five women have already shown what they could do and they think it's time to allow five more women become empowered to go after what they want and make a name for themselves.

"The female voice is something that has become more and more important to me as I've worked in the film industry," Meyer shared in a statement, as quoted by The New York Times.

Aside from empowering the women, the project is slated to show Facebook as a possible new frontier for film as well as TV. Lionsgate vice chairman is very excited at the prospect of being a pioneer in tapping into this possibility. The vice chairman is also excited to touch on new fans of "Twilight." Facebook has 1.3 billion users worldwide; the chance to catch their attention is certainly exciting.

"We think Facebook is a great way for us to introduce the world of 'Twilight' to a whole new audience while re-energizing existing fans," Lionsgate's vice chairman Michael Burns shared. Lionsgate previously worked with Facebook to create network's first-ever video adfor the promotion of another hit YA book and film, "Divergent."
