Question: Hello from Los Angeles! What is a virtual festival debut like for you?It’s kind of exciting. I just applaud for going,"Look, storytelling is important. It’s not going to be how it is in the past. But this is something that people want and need." We've all been through something very tough, and some of the airs and graces and pretentiousness has eroded, and it’s kind of nice to be talking to people in a time where we’ve all been humbled by this situation.

The film is an homage to the kind of films I loved growing up, the kind of films that Amblin used to make back in the day. Those films had a sense of adventure, but they had some core meaning to them,"E.T." being my favorite. I personally applaud what the Academy is doing because it’s acknowledging that we have all had to endure a broken system that has valued certain things over other things because it’s woven into the very DNA of it, it’s systemic. These changes are going to just make people think twice about who they’re marginalizing when they’re telling stories.
