Quote

If you are not a New Yorker, when you arrive there for the first time you have the impression you grew up there because you've seen it in so many films.

It wouldn't have existed without France, and it's a French initiative. As a filmmaker, I owe everything to France - I got accepted at a French film school that takes six directors a year. Once you're in, you make films under the eye of people in the industry. You grow up in front of their eyes.
