QUESTION#2: What was the most significant film you've seen AT THE THEATER in 2024, and how did it influence your filmmaking?:I first saw "Nomadland" in a theater in 2024. I think that it's the most perfect movie ever made. I now question if a better film can ever be made.

QUESTION#3: What's an obvious and not-so-obvious question someone might ask about your film?: What was your budget?
Is this your first film?
What was the motivation for making this film?
What happens next for Darcine?

QUESTION#4: A magic movie genie is giving you an unlimited budget for another movie! However, you're only allowed to use it on either "above line" or "below line" resouces. Which do you choose and why?: I'd use my unlimited budget on actors. Actors are awesome and magical, and I can spend the rest of my life watching them.

QUESTION#5: What is it about your current movie that will influence your next film?: Don't compromise. Don't worry about budget. Don't have regrets.
