How to run Django with Uvicorn webserver?

I have a Django project running on my local machine with dev server manage.py runserver and I'm trying to run it with Uvicorn before I deploy it in a virtual machine. So in my virtual environment I installed uvicorn and started the server, but as you can see below it fails to find Django static css files.

(envdev) user@lenovo:~/python/myproject$ uvicorn myproject.asgi:application --port 8001
Started server process [17426]

Waiting for application startup.
ASGI 'lifespan' protocol appears unsupported.
Application startup complete.

Uvicorn has an option --root-path so I tried to specify the directory where these files are located but there is still the same error (path is correct). How can I solve this issue?
