access anyone stuff viewers
Anyone can create and put stuff out there, so then as viewers and listeners, we have access to a lot of different unique view points.
great
Working with a great actor is really educational.
definitely relate
With my aunt, I definitely can relate to how she makes a movie because she does it with her own demeanor, which isn't this loud presence.
including last movies picture watched
I watched a lot of movies about teenagers, including 'The Last Picture Show,' 'American Graffiti,' 'Rumblefish.' It's one of my favorite genres.
school
I went to a private all-girls school where I didn't feel I fit in.
I think there's always this idea in your head, but you have to allow the film to take its own course.
asked felt seemed studied
I studied photography at Bard, but I just felt tired of it. Someone asked me to be in a video but didn't want to be in it, so they told me to make my own, and that seemed more fun to me.
fascinates vice
My only vice is 'Keeping up With The Kardashians.' I can't really explain what it is that fascinates me so much, but it just sucks me in.
name work
My name does help me get in the door, but it doesn't do the work for me.
kids movies
Most movies use older actors, but I thought, if I could just put kids on camera and get them to be themselves, what could be easier?
feature figure great trying
I think what's so great about making your first feature film is that you're so naive in some ways; you don't know what to expect, and you don't question things as much because you're just trying to figure it out as you go.
mom onto
When I was a baby, my mom was always bringing me onto set.
best
Usually when I get nervous and don't know how to prepare for something, I just don't do anything at all, which is not necessarily the best idea.
closest elementary great school
It's great because all of my friends from elementary school are still my closest friends.
