Declaration
film director
“The story is what defines us as a society, and we have the responsibility to continue telling stories. But, above all, we have the burden to remind others that these stories serve for something more than mere entertainment, that they serve to reflect, to show other points of view, other worlds, other people, to make us feel, laugh or cry, be afraid and get excited. Those are the stories that are worthwhile, that make us better people. Getting there is another story, but first you have to try it.”
