I love mentoring young filmmakers and girl filmmakers.

I love making films, and as long as I love the subject, I just have a crazy amount of passion and energy for the project.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

I am so inspired by new media.

In 1983, I was working at an art gallery in Los Angeles and going to film school at Los Angeles City College. At that time, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a young painter and was visiting L.A. for his first show at the Larry Gagosian Gallery.

I love working with young people and young filmmakers, and I love working on first films. I think it's cool. It's fun. I just take it as it comes.
