Usually, no, screenwriters don’t tend to direct unless it’s a very low budget film and the producers can’t afford to hire more than a few people. And you can be any age, producers tend to choose writers with more life experience, or someone that knows someone they’ve worked with before. It usually has nothing to do with how good of a writer you are. But good luck. 🙂
