@chantelclark: What’s a defining moment in your life? At 22 I was accepted into the Film MFA program at Columbia University and I moved from Cape Town to New York. The move has largely defined my 20s, especially because I’d been working towards it since I was 18. The first two years here I was very naive and idealistic, partly because I was in a film school bubble where I was surrounded by filmmakers in my program 24/7. We were all very much in love with the program and each other. In my third year I had a health scare and realized I had completely burnt out. In the two years since, I’ve started to think about things like balance and down time, which used to get an eye roll from me.
