Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't necessarily see myself as an experienced filmmaker just because I've been in a few movies.
You know how it is, somebody will see your work and like it and remember it, then decide to make it a role in their film.
For the outside world, it may seem easy to enter into the industry if you belong to a film family, but, trust me, it's even harder, as you have to not only prove your talent but also carve your own niche and identity.
You have to want to be in the company of those you're making films about.
Going to film school taught me how much I already knew, and that the best way to learn about film is being on the set with professionals.
A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
How I'm portrayed in films has more to do with the filmmaking and what they need in the story than anything else. I'm the same person I've always been, I just get used in different ways according to the filmmakers' needs - which is fine with me; it makes for great films.
I think I'm an actor. You can hire me. I can do a good job. But you also have to get lucky now and then. Every film-maker knows how hard it is to do a good film. You have to just make many, and see how lucky you get.
Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
I did not enter the industry to create a certain image. People happened to see me as the friend/sister/daughter next door. I like that association very much. It's close to what I am in real life. As for films, I just focus on the job.
