Desiree Akhavan, Dianna Agron, and Erin Lee Carr on how to build confidence in an industry dominated by men FFFest
Photo: Vinyl Foote Productions This past Sunday, students, aspiring filmmakers, and fans crowded into an cozy theater at Quad Cinema for the “How to Break in & Navigate Your First Film Deal” panel at FFFEST — a festival providing a platform for filmmakers to share guidance, inspiration, and normalize women in positions of power in filmmaking.
Dianna Agron, film director and actor “This is an industry that’s [about] the awards and the dresses, and the dinners and the suits, and the this and the that … Trust me I’ve had plenty of fun nights that turn into morning, and then you go back to work on set and you’re like but this is where this lives and dies and breathes. I almost always prefer the making and being on set, or being in a writers room … because that is where the joy comes from.
Erin Lee Carr, film director, producer, and writer “I have been totally propelled by rejection, just like most creatives…My dad said: ‘Keep close the people that doubt you. They are your friends. They will keep you going.’ And so I think I have like this index card of people that doubted and I think of them when I’m trying to do stuff….I guess I don’t feel fear from it. I feel a propulsion. I feel confidence.” About Carr: She is a New York based director, producer and writer.
