“There’s been a lot of conversation this year about how to encourage more women to be in film or get more women into the conversation. I just have to say that we don’t have to encourage women. There are lots of women making films and who want to make films… What women need is just the job. Just give them the freakin’ job. Give them the money.”
- Lulu Wang, Director of The Farewell
