On how she decides if a movie is great.
Taste differs, so what I may regard as a great film may not be what you would regard as a great film, she said.
So for me, a great film is one that resonates my beliefs, my ideas. It's one that leaves me thinking, that changes my state from when I got in the cinema or when I press the play button ,to the end of the movie.
If Something has changed within me, if there's a thought that I leave the cinema with, if there's a shift within my conscienceness, then for me that's a great film.
My first love, my core, my passion is directing, and that is because first and foremost, I'm a storyteller. I'm an artist and I want to create. This is where I find my passion - creating and telling stories.
