“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
“The reason I'm interested in alternative worlds and near-future settings is that it allows us to look at our own limitations in our worldviews. These settings allow me to explore how our world might evolve if we allow individualistic kinds of success to remain our primary value. I'm not trying to be overly bleak, and I don't feel bleak or sad about our world. I want empowered and educated people who understand a lot about the world's challenges to strive to be noble, rather than cynical. I think we still need more champions out there.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWantNeedsFeelsTryingLooksKindStillsReasonMightValuesChallengesStriveNobleSettingEducatedSettingsAlternativesPrimariesLimitationEvolveChampionOur WorldCynicalEmpoweredWorldviewBleakIndividualistic Author:Jennifer Phang
