bring ideas interested love meet outside people whatever
I think when you do things outside of what you're interested in, you meet people and get ideas to bring in to whatever it is you love doing the most.
love mom orange smells
I love Serge Lutens orange blossom perfume; my mom got it for me. It's my favorite. It just smells clean.
across bad family fridge mad mainly milk run stops street
My family get so mad at me when they come over. All I'll have in is milk and eggs. I mainly keep film in my fridge - it's better for it; it stops it from going old. I'm bad at eating healthy; I usually just run across the street and get cheeseburgers.
came clothes costumes dirty kids movies remember teen vintage wearing
Costumes say a lot about a character. When it came to 'Palo Alto,' it was important for me that the kids didn't look perfect. In most teen movies today, all of the clothes are expensive. I remember wearing a lot of dirty vintage clothes.
convey drawn
I'm so drawn to photography because you can convey a complex story in a single frame.
figures figuring human lives pivotal realize
I just remember that pivotal moment when you're a young adult, and you realize that these authority figures are human beings, too, and they're figuring out their lives just as you are, and they're flawed.
I was really nervous working with actors, since I come from a photography background.
'Virgin Suicides' was such a big movie to me as a teenage girl. It blew me away.
learn movies says side technical theatre watch
I didn't go to film school. My Grampa always says just watch a lot of movies. He didn't go to film school; he went to theatre school. It's interesting to learn about the technical side of it, but I think it's more important to learn about writing and working with actors.
alone appreciation love nature
Now that I'm older, I have a much better appreciation of nature, and I love being alone.
finding mentor mundane taking
My mentor in college was Stephen Shore. I loved his color palettes and his taking mundane things but finding them fascinating.
close family knit relationship spend time
My family and I are so close, it's important to have a close knit relationship and to make time to spend with each other, especially at the holidays.
definitely directors female support
We definitely have to support other female directors because there's not enough of us.
You can't host an Italian film festival without Marcello Mastroianni. It just doesn't feel right.
