@janawinternitz: What’s a defining moment in your life? It was a mindset shift for me. I’m a perfectionist, which is one of the reasons I like film, because you have the time and resources to really curate and be specific. Realizing I didn’t always need to be right, however, allowed me the freedom to fail. I feel like Tony Robbins, “failure creates opportunity!” But, honestly, it does. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6QPT

@janawinternitz: Why did you decide to get into this industry? People and stories. I didn’t grow up watching a lot of films or TV shows, but I come from a family of writers and relatives who love to tell stories. I really dove into film in high school and college. I love what the medium has to offer, but at the core it’s definitely the chance to understand who we are. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6QOu

@madeleine_johnson: What, if anything, do you collect? I collect photo booth strips, especially old fashion photo booth strips. I can’t pass one by without wanting to stop. It captures the moment in such a cool way that a cellphone picture like that totally doesn’t. So I have way too many photo booth strips. #thereelwomen #instagood #instamood #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #instadaily #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6PR0

@madeleine_johnson: What advice do you have for other women in the industry? I think that a lot of women in the industry and a lot of women in general are really nasty to each other and really competitive with each other and they don’t build each other up. All women are brilliant. All women are smart. All women are beautiful and we need to tell each other that and help each out and give each other a hand. Because a woman coming into the industry with you is not your competitor so you need to bring her down. What if that person is your ally and you can reach out to each other and be stronger together. And then you add another person and another person. It is a really hard world to break into and it’s a hard to be a woman in the world anyway so if we can help each other it just makes it better. #thereelwomen #instagood #instamood #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #instadaily #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6PP7

@madeleine_johnson: What is a successful moment in your career so far? I had my first lead in a feature this past year, which was really cool. I didn’t know that I could carry a movie and shoot for 6 weeks everyday and have it be on my shoulders. I was really proud of myself because I did do that. It is good to challenge yourself to rise to your own potential and rise to the occasion. Up until the night before I was doubting myself and thinking, “I don’t know if I can do it,” “I don’t want if I want to do it”, “maybe I won’t do it” and then the first day of shooting I was like, “no, I can do this.” So it was a good self-affirming moment. #thereelwomen #instagood #instamood #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #instadaily #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6PNS

@madeleine_johnson: What is your biggest concern with the future? My biggest concern is not giving enough of what I want to give or what I could give. I think about my life and I’m 25 and what can I do with my life and I really want to help people and I want to have an impact and I want to give something that hasn’t been given before. I guess I’m afraid I won’t be brave enough to really figure out what it is or not be focused enough to really deliver on it. It is a fear of not showing up to potential is what I worry about. #thereelwomen #instagood #instamood #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #instadaily #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6PMF

@madeleine_johnson: What’s a defining moment in your life? A defining moment in my life is when my mom passed away which was 2 years ago. It was a really big deal because it changed my perspective on everything. I think it is one of the reason why I have more of an open perspective now with what I am going to do and how the world looks to me, what does the future look like. Up until she passed away the world was one way and then she died and it became totally different. It is hard to describe because it was really awful but have had some really positive affects on me in certain ways. I’ve gotten to know myself better. #thereelwomen #instagood #instamood #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #instadaily #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6PLA

@madeleine_johnson: Why did you decide to get into this industry? I decided to work in the industry because I love connecting with people and that is something that always resonated with me. And I love the idea of telling somebody’s story and everybody has a story that needs to be told and as an actor you can be a conduit for other people’s stories. I love the idea of an art form that has honesty at the core of it and storytelling at the core of it. It just seems endlessly exciting which is why I think I was interested in it to start with. #thereelwomen #instagood #instamood #picoftheday #photooftheday #women #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #instadaily #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang http://ow.ly/i/h6PKj
