“I’ve never had such love from people seeing a film. Sundance was just amazing to me. I had never been there before. I’d had films there, but I had never personally been there. And so, that was an experience. Seeing the film that first night with this huge audience and their reaction was just amazing. When Thelma first opened, we saw quite a few that beginning we would go to screenings and they were packed in the afternoon. I was thrilled. I mean, everything about this has been very exciting.”

“It came together because I wanted to keep doing movies the way I love to make them in the genre area, which is for me, the best way I can express myself in a creative and and free way. You don’t have the limits of reality. You can create your codes, and your own rules to tell your story, and you can go as far as the Brundlefly, and everything to express to meet the violence of what I wanted to say about the theme.”
