“I've always known that I've wanted to write, but I always saw myself doing that in the context of something other than film, so it was a really beautiful and kind of perfect moment in my life when I realized that I could combine this idea of wanting to write and tell my own stories with the environment I had grown up in and knew well - that I could make film as opposed to writing being a departure from what I knew.” WritingWellsKindIdeasMomentsStoriesWantedBeautifulFilmMy OwnPerfectKnownEnvironmentSawsI RealizedDepartureReally BeautifulPerfect Moments Author:Sarah Polley
