Producing is a way of finding a great script that nobody's making, and believing in it, and doing what you can to get it made. It lets you work with your friends, people you really love to do something with.

Conversations create change. It's easy to call someone 'enemy,' but there's more to it, right?
Interpretation
Conversations can transform perspectives and relationships, revealing complexities in human interactions.
Elliot Page highlights the power of dialogue in fostering understanding and change, noting that labeling someone as an 'enemy' oversimplifies the truth of our connections. Conversations allow us to explore deeper motivations and feelings, opening pathways for empathy and resolution.
In practice
During a community meeting, I shared Elliot Page's quote to emphasize the importance of dialogue in addressing local issues.

To be in a position, at my age, where I am financially independent, I can help develop things, I can promote stuff that I believe in, I can say no a lot and spend time writing - that is a gift.
The thing that I would say you get the most hate about on social media, in my experience, is if you tweet anything about women's rights or feminism. It blows my mind. But it's the thought of not being a feminist that actually blows my mind.
I've always been drawn to stories and telling them; whether it was through being a part of theater when I was a little kid, or film, or with music, there's just been an innate desire to feel that connection.
Life is not a static thing. The only people who do not change their minds are incompetents in asylums, and those in cemeteries.
These places I've seen have clubbed my mind - they are so poor and depressing. I don't know what we can do to help these people, but we've got to do something.
Designing and implementing a strategy for change is a waste of time until you have discovered and embraced the current reality. If you don't know where you really are, it is impossible to get where you need to be.

Revolution is not a one time event.
I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.
