I’ve been thinking a lot about how special it is that we’re all coming together here, no matter where in the world we’re starting from. I was just in Lagos, Nigeria filming a documentary and it was surprised at how curiosity my crew had for resources that we have here. One of the biggest reasons I’m so dedicated to creating this academy is because I’ve never seen anything quite like it—something that truly brings filmmakers together across borders, cultures, and experiences. I’m genuinely curious to know where we’re growing and what other creative communities are out there in different parts of the world. It’s amazing to think about the possibilities of meeting you all in person someday, but for now, getting a great sense of where everyone’s at is the first step.
