It's very important for feminism for us to tell our daughters that they should be strong. But to tell our sons that they can be vulnerable, to have these characters on screen that are not perfectly masculine cowboys that never fail, for our boys to change their psyche as well, that's equally important for feminism.

I'm heavily influenced by European and American cinema, but the further I get in my career, the more I find myself looking back East for inspiration.
