“When we see something that touches us, if it’s an experience that has moved us, we always want to share it with loved ones,”

“I feel like that is almost the essence of any kind of art form or expression, which is really to share the feeling of what it’s to be a human being, what it is to be alive and make sense of life. I love to get all these different perspectives of different directors. I grew up watching a lot of these films,” she adds.
