I like movies where you can't just put them all in one box.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hollywood's famous for putting you in a box.
I like boxes because of the secrets they hide.
When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.
I like movies that challenge people to recognize different things.
I think I'm always conscious of not letting things fit into a specific box. Being a filmmaker and trying to chart a career, you never want anyone to be able to pigeonhole you into one specific thing.
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
The funny thing about my films is that you can make little piles of them. You could make little piles of the movie that were family movies, you could make a little art movie pile, you could make a little action movie pile.
Box office is one of the strongest tools we have toward preserving our ability to make our movies. We really can make a difference by purchasing a ticket each opening weekend to a movie made by a woman, even if you don't like the movie or the filmmaker and even if you don't see the film.
I love how you can shoot a movie in a month or two or three of four, and it's this encapsulated story that you box up and ship out into the world, and what it is, is what it is.
I love films that are many things at the same time while being simple.
