I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.
When I graduated from Brown after majoring in women's studies, I made my first PBS documentary, 'Women of Substance.' My first feature documentary was called 'American Hollow,' which I did for HBO and was at the Sundance Film Festival.
I have an Italian comedy at the Venice Film Festival.
New York is the perfect place for a film festival because there's already so much energy and life here, and New Yorkers love movies.
It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.
I had lived in Fukuoka during the mid 1990s, and I was a volunteer with the Fukuoka Asian Film Festival.
I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
You can do a short film in three to four days, and then you can show it. Look at the careers you seen go either through Tropfest or outside of Tropfest. You can make a short film in a couple of days, and if it's great, it can go in the Internet or go to a film festival like this one or another.
