  • Quotes
    I have worked with the heart and not only the bank account. It's easier that way. I picked projects because they were films I wanted to have an audience. I have other ways to make money outside of cinema so that didn't complicate things. I often didn't see myself as a producer, more an entrepreneur. [2020]
