“Female directors really do need to support each other. Too many times I've been led to believe that my direct competition was other women, as if there can be only a handful of successful female filmmakers a year. That conversation, that perception, needs to change. Women are the people who have helped me make films I love, and I want to be that kind of strength to other women.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsYearsBelieveKindFilmSupportSuccessfulDirectorsConversationPerceptionFemaleDirectCompetitionFilmmakerHandfulNeed A Change Author:Jennifer Phang
“When you have your chance to make a film, don't focus on pleasing everyone. I think the goal is to live in that sweet spot where you focus on making a good film and you have fun with your collaborators, but you don't waste your energy chasing approval every which way. When you have a vision and a good story and you've managed to raise funding, it is your approval as a director that everyone should be seeking. It's very simple.” ThinkingWayShouldStoriesFilmEnergyFunGoalChanceSimpleVisionFocusSweetDirectorsWasteRaisesSeekingSpotsHaving FunApprovalChasingFundingGood StoryCollaboratorsGood FilmsPleasing Everyone Author:Jennifer Phang
