Environment Quote by Robert Schenkkan
“I think if you look at where things are in this current political climate, you'll see that everything is polarized. Everyone has their own eco chamber that they can operate in; there aren't a lot of people interacting with each other. For me, with something like film, that's an opportunity to try to bridge those gaps.”
