"I really feel like if I can help one other woman tell her story, or help one other woman get a show on a network, or make a movie about something that she’s passionate about then I’ve done my job. It’s hard to get to the place where I’m at, but it feels really good to be able to use the opportunities that I’ve had and the relationships that I have in order to create new opportunities for other creative women. [“Wild”] is a real spiritual movie and I’m ready to tell more meaningful stories.”
On upcoming film adaptations the new thriller “Luckiest Girl Alive,” by Jessica Knoll, and “Ashley’s War,” about female soldiers on the Special Ops battlefield in Afghanistan:
“I’m really inspired by those women and excited to bring their story to the screen.We have a lot of different projects — women who are astronauts, women who are working on Wall Street — we are just trying to diversify the idea of how you see women on screen and portraying real women, all ethnicities, all ages. It’s a really exciting time.”
