Do you use your time on set to learn about the technical side of things?
I just learnt the other day how to focus a camera. It's just awesome, you have to do this whole tape-measure thing, then you measure the lights, then you adjust your camera and then you have to set up your shot, and it's all very exciting. I try to learn as much as I possibly can because I know that one day that is my goal, to actually write and direct, and the fact that I have already thirteen years of experience has to give me something. I would hope that people when I'm older don't think, "Oh, she's a new little director," but it'll be like, "This may be her first actual film that she herself is directing, but she's had twenty-five years of experience."
