I define art as a work created by a human that has a unique point of view and discovers something that was not there before.

By using formula in filmmaking we are admitting that film is not art.

I try not to think of myself as a woman filmmaker. I don't look for women influences. I have noticed in the past few years that there is a certain ceiling that a woman filmmaker can reach. I don't believe that it's sexism per se, but there are certain expectations in the industry about what films should be, how they should be made, what stories they should tell, and it's a habit, it's a tradition.

The fantastical images in my works are descriptive in a different way - a metaphorical way - that removes you from reality. Then, this visually removed point of view allows you to deal with a very heavy subject.

With my personal work I prefer not to work from storyboards because being a director, producer and animator in one person I don't have to communicate my idea to anyone else, I can keep the feeling of the story, the story arc and structure in my head.

I always knew that I wanted to be a writer. I think I was six or seven when I learned how to read, and I still remember it.

Even if you have a gift, it's nearly impossible to become a good actor in just a few weeks of training.
