I just think it's a really unique thing to women, this weird psychotic jealousy.

There are a lot of movies about women's psychology, I think almost all of them are directed by men. I mean they all really spoke to me and are amazing movies, but I feel like there's something that they don't understand even if they do a great job.

I really like Woody Allen, I really like John Cassavetes, and I really like movies that are super-naturalistic. I studied film studies in college, but I slept through all the movies, and I love film but I don't have a lot to reference. And so I don't know what my influences are and I don't know where this came from at all.

All my friends make really small, naturalistic, dialogue-heavy movies, so I'm kind of used to that. I didn't want my movie to be rambly and I didn't want it to be cutesy, or quirky, or clever.

I love editing, and I don't mind when things are edited and you can see the editing.

I just think it's a really unique thing to women, this weird psychotic jealousy.

I think a fear of portraying something negatively ends up creating more stereotypes. Like a fear of going into these negative feelings that I have had and a lot of women that I've spoken to have had creates these sort of plasticky women.
