areas collage excel extension few industry natural women
Editing is a natural extension of the collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning.
interested
Even befor doing this film, I've always been interested in mythology.
certain definitely followed happen owl scene several white wonder
We filmed one scene on the beach and there was definitely weird energy around, and we were followed around by a white owl to several different locations, and little things like that, or certain mishaps would happen and you'd have to wonder what that was about.
Which is not to discount everything I've done in my past; everything I have learned tremendously from.
edit lock love room
I edit too, by the way. That's my new thing. I love editing. Lock me in a room by myself and I love it. I just think it's the neatest thing.
amazing bringing hard higher people percent seventy showing time
That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas, and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.
hard knew relate white
And I can relate to that, because I went to an all white school, so I knew what that was like. And it was hard at the time, but anything that's difficult you learn from, don't you?
mcdonalds choices acting
Sometimes I wonder why I'm not working at McDonald's and how come I have the life I have. I don't know. But I'm happy that I have these choices. That's kinda sappy, huh? But whatever, acting beats pumping gas.
ideas nine months
When you work on a movie, you just have no idea how it's going to come out; you hope it's good, but you don't really know, and you don't see it until about six or nine months afterward, and I saw it and was pretty pleased.
editing able film
Editing is a natural extension of collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning.
friends girl thinking
In the end, I play a lot of friends and I really think it's about time that some ethnic girls get out there in the lead part. So we're developing something.
movie hair looks
For six months I'd do movies and make it all about me. Then the other six months, it's not about me and it doesn't matter what my hair looks like or what anything looks like.
respect black lucky
So now I feel I'm lucky in the respect that I can sort of pick a little more carefully, which is tricky because as a black actress, there aren't that many roles to pick from.
thinking careers trying
As far as developing a career as an actress, I think it's a fine balance between trying to just work, and also be true to yourself.
