I think feminism to me is the idea that women are equally important and their stories are equally important and just as entertaining.

If you don't have a dream as an artist, you shouldn't be an artist, because you should be working towards something and trying to reach that always, whatever that is.

I think that until a filmmaker knows that about him- or herself, the films they make will just be copies of other people's work. It's important for anyone who wants to make films for a living, but I think perhaps it has an even greater weight for female filmmakers since they represent a much smaller percentage of the population. Their voices are fewer so they must be even stronger.

My advice to any filmmaker would be to figure out what it is that you bring to the table. What makes you different? What is your voice?

You want your film to get seen by as many people as possible. I mean nobody makes movies for themselves.

All any filmmaker can do is focus on creating something that has depth and resonance, and then do whatever possible to get it seen by audiences and hope the word spreads.
