I believe young female directors in particular should always remind themselves of the truths of their own stories and not let outsiders influence the authenticity of their films.

People normally view my work as fantasy, which on some level is true, but I do think that my work is more magical realist than fantasy. I believe in the fantasies within each of our realities, i.e., I portray very relatable human issues in a very realistic tone, yet in a magical setting.
