I find it rare to see truly complex portraits of women on film.
Stay humble to the craft and never forget how much it actually takes to be the main character of a documentary.
"Fish Tank" [my favorite woman-directed film] by Andrea Arnold. The film is so beautifully shot, and I love the raw energy of Katie Jarvis, who plays the main character, Mia. She is not a professional actress and she provides the film with a sense of realism. To me, the film feels so complete and superior.
