Always Quote by Melissa Barrera
“I think because audiences are a little bit sick of the same thing over and over, I think it's opening the channel for mainstream audiences to look around and be like, 'Oh, but what's that movie? What's that little movie?' And so I'm hopeful for that, because I think indie cinema is always where it's at.”
