“Part of the fun of the movie is understanding exactly why we called it Prometheus.

I feel that I live in darkness and confusion, and I'm trying, like we all are, to make some sort of sense of it.”

“It might sound crazy, but filming in a conflict zone, in Afghanistan, and being a female filmmaker was the easy part. I found people open and understanding of the importance and beauty of filmic storytelling. I never had to explain why Jake Bryant, my Director of Photography, and I were climbing up a ladder to get a high shot, or running ahead to get an arrival shot, or filming weeks after weeks, months after months, collecting so much material. The process was respected and honored.”
