What I like about film is it explores imperfections.

You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.

Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.

Feminism is just about equality, really, and there's so much stuff attached to the word, when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.
