I would give female filmmakers the same advice I’d give any filmmaker believe in your vision, believe in your team, believe in yourself.

I really want the audience to be on the edge of their seats.

You can never be too prepared. I don't believe creativity needs to come from chaos, I find it's easier to be creative when I'm really ready.

Everybody has someone in their life that has breast cancer. It touches femininity, motherhood and sexuality and as Barbara Brenner says in the film, you get to say breast out loud in public. Big corporations know this and market in a particular way knowing that women make most of the buying decisions in a household.

While it is increasingly possible for filmmakers to find an audience on their own (something that is particularly popular amongst documentary filmmakers) I'm still a believer in the specialist. By this I mean, I back myself as a filmmaker, but I leave the marketing and distribution of my films to the experts.
