When I was in New York I heard many people saying that the independent film industry was in big trouble. I was reflecting on this when I came home. Realizing that ever since I started filmmaking, people have being saying that. But somehow it keeps going. Filmmakers keep going. We need stories to make sense of the world and some people like me are driven to tell them. I have faith this will always be possible.
Andrea ArnoldI hear filmmakers saying, 'I wanted to make to make a film about this issue, or this theme,' but I never start like that.
