hard
It's hard not to be impressed by my older relatives.
approach art aspect cool enjoy fashion guys seem
I enjoy fashion photography and textiles, that whole aspect of it. As more of an art form, I like Proenza Schouler. Those guys are really cool because they seem to have an interesting approach to it all.
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.
mom onto
When I was a baby, my mom was always bringing me onto set.
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.
great
Working with a great actor is really educational.
definitely directors female support
We definitely have to support other female directors because there's not enough of us.
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.
alone appreciation love nature
Now that I'm older, I have a much better appreciation of nature, and I love being alone.
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.
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.
convey drawn
I'm so drawn to photography because you can convey a complex story in a single frame.
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.
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.
