I think that women definitely have a special bond as friends that is hard to describe to men, and we don't often see that portrayed narratively.
From Ava DuVernay
I think I am a little jealous of women who have great girlfriends as adults.
Positive characterizations are complex characterizations. That's all we need to know. They shouldn't be saccharine. They shouldn't feel like medicine.
You know, often films that are deemed positive, nobody wants to see them.
I'm a prison abolitionist because the prison system as it is set up is just not working. It's horrible.
I think for female filmmakers a big issue is making their second and third films.
There's a belonging problem in Hollywood. Who dictates who belongs? The very body who dictates that looks all one way.
I'm not signing on to direct 'Black Panther.' I think I'll just say we had different ideas about what the story would be. Marvel has a certain way of doing things, and I think they're fantastic, and a lot of people love what they do. I loved that they reached out to me.
As a filmmaker, you put the film out there, and you just want it to be okay. You don't want to let people down; you don't want to embarrass yourself.
Every filmmaker imbues a movie with their own point of view.
