#question for @lyvimar: What’s a defining moment in your life? #answer: In my life and in storytelling in general, reading “Ella Enchanted”. My grandma had actually bought it for my younger sister. My younger sister had no interest in reading it because she thought the cover was boring. I didn’t have a new book to read so I thought let me give this book a try. From the first pages I was absolutely captivated and in love, not only with the story and the characters but with the fact that this author Gail Carson Levine had taken a fairytale, a story that I knew so well and had changed it and had given it different context and had made it her own and in some ways that opened up my mind to how different things could be, to how different stories could be. Not just grabbing one story and telling it a different way but how different people would tell different stories. I definitely have read that book a lot and have recommended it to a lot of people. It’s a book that changed my view of storytelling and of life in general in terms of how to approach things and finding your own way to do things. #ellaenchanted #book #books #fairytale #film #movies #stories #independentfilm #documentary #ladyboss #girlboss #womeninbusiness #bossbabe #boss #womenempoweringwomen #inspiration #goldenglobes #television #TV #media #art #editing #writing #producing #collaboration #storytelling #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #womendirect #betterhollywood #thereelwomen http://ow.ly/i/fM5aS
