The advice you give to young directors for sure is to go out and become some version of a successful movie actor. Do that first and say yes to people like Terrence Malick and Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen when they come and offer you movies. It's a great front row seat to filmmaking.

I think if you want good things to happen for a country like Haiti, then you need to provide the circumstances where the Haitians can do that.
