If I have to be remembered for anything in the film industry, I would like it to be for playing a part in bringing about the sustainability and freedom that I believe needs to be valued by more creative people.
We are documenting humanity, after all. We should reflect some part of that generosity and resourcefulness of the collective, which has helped us survive throughout the arc of evolution. After all, it’s not like we’re the biggest, strongest, fastest or prettiest species around.
