But what I like about it, I don't know if people know, is that filmmaking is quite of a lonely process.
At least speaking as director, you're like a Ronin, you know, you're like a samurai.
Yeah, you're getting hired to do jobs and jobs and jobs.
And then
You create this family and then you have to leave again.
So a worse season, especially if someone like me who came up from independent films and having to go festivals and labs after labs to even get money to grants and to make my first film, I was exposed to a lot of my fellow filmmakers over a decade ago.
So to be paid, to be brought together and to see each other,
And to hang out at these events and roundtables and stuff is actually really nice.
I try to ask them to let me come to their set and just shadow people.
I think there should be a system where directors get to be on each other's set.
Otherwise, how do we keep learning?
How to embrace chaos.
I mean, pretty much Hamnet was created that way.
For example, when Hamnet died, spoiler alert, I don't think you can spoil this film.
Yeah.
Someone died.
Someone wrote a play.
Hamlet died.

She would, in the morning, she would do a lot of fever writing about her dreams.
