In A Film, If You Can Capture

This Is A Good Thing To Say To Film Students. If There's A Story Point That You Don't Feel Right About, That There's A Question You Have - "does It Really Make Sense?" Or, "is That Plausible? Is It Implausible? Is It Set Up?" Or Whatever. Go At It. Don't Let It Go. If There's A Question In Your Mind, You're Probably Right. You Probably Do Need To Work On It And Think About It More.

And If There's Anything Movies Can Do In A Way That I Just Love, And I Love As An Audience Is, "show Me Something I Don't Know About. Show Me Something I Haven't Seen."

It Used To Be The One Or The Other, Right? You Were The 'bad Girl' Or The 'good Girl' Or The 'bad Mother' Or The 'good Mother,' 'the Horrible Businesswoman Who Eschewed Her Children' Or 'the Earth Mother Who Was Happy To Be At Home Baking Pies,' All Of That Stuff That We Sort Of Knew Was A Lie.

Things Either Become Unclear In A Story Or They're Just Ambiguous With No Real Point. So Defined Gray Area With Clarity That Also Works In The Narrative, That's Tricky.

If You're An Actor, You Have To Find A Way To Make Peace With All The Media Attention.
