film director and screenwriter
"Being a filmmaker is about being a storyteller. [...] I think that storytelling is really the way that human beings have as a tool to trigger empathy for somebody that you don't know. [...] Cinema is a format of telling a story that is so immersive that it works like no other medium and through that storytelling process, human beings are able to connect with other people that they never would have come in contact with in their entire lives--that's why storytelling is so important." from Sundance.org
