Cinema Quote by Nia DaCosta

“My worst nightmare was, sometimes you go to Sundance and there's a female filmmaker and they're like, 'It's been 12 years since their last film!' I was like, 'Yikes, I don't want that to be me. I also didn't want to get stuck as being seen as someone who just makes small movies.” quote by Nia DaCosta — Download Open image
