Okay don’t think I’m weird but a long time ago I saw an interview with @jenniferaniston (told you I watch a lot of tv) where she talked about having family and friends decorate her tree or something at her Christmas party and I thought that was such a brilliant idea. So ever since then I’ve… Read More @li.ss.ette: What, if anything, do you collect?

Make original commercially viable products and negotiate everything. 

At an early friends and family screening of my first feature “Women is Losers” (feminist title, I promise) which is coming soon audience members were crying. After the screening a man came up to me and asked how he could be a better father to his daughter. I was standing there with my manger @agentchrislee… Read More @li.ss.ette: What is a successful moment in your career so far?

Probably cynicism. I’m not sure when it became uncool and childish to be enthusiastic about things but I hope that changes. Cynicism appears to rob its host of motivation. I worry about how much we can get accomplished as a generation if cynicism is the status quo. 

Getting into @NYUTisch. That acceptance letter changed my life. It was a beautiful and traumatic four years. I learned how to be an artist but I also learned about politics.

In addition, if people want to find out more about you, where can they find you on social media?

I’ve been fortunate to have a train of successful moments that I hope will only get bigger and better in 2021. In 2019, I was a finalist at the ABC Discovers Showcase for Directors, my films have been screen in over 50 international film festivals and counting, being featured in prestigious film festivals as both… Read More @kingviktoria: What is a successful moment in your career so far?
