फिल्मों का निर्देशन, फिल्मांकन और संपादन करते हुए चालीस साल बीत जाने के बाद भी, जब मैं किसी पुरुष साथी के साथ काम करती हूँ, तो लोग आज भी पुरुष को ही मुख्य फिल्म निर्माता समझते हैं।
Even after forty years of directing, shooting and editing films, when I collaborate with a male partner, people still perceive the man as the primary filmmaker.

मैंने हमेशा यही सोचा है कि अगर आप दर्शकों को ऐसा महसूस करा सकें कि वे खुद वहीं मौजूद हैं, तो कोई भी कहानी बेहद असरदार बन जाती है।
I have always thought that if you can give viewers the sense of being there a story can be very compelling.

क्राउडसोर्सिंग फिल्म निर्माताओं के लिए एक अनमोल जरिया है, लेकिन इसके लिए भारी मात्रा में काम करने के वास्ते तैयार रहें।
Crowdsourcing is an invaluable resource for filmmakers, but be prepared for an enormous amount of work.

चूंकि मैं खुद शूटिंग, ऑडियो रिकॉर्डिंग और एडिटिंग करती हूँ, इसलिए मैं बिना कोई क्रू (सहयोगी टीम) हायर किए फिल्म की शूटिंग शुरू कर पाई और ब्रॉडकास्टर्स तथा ग्रांट देने वाली संस्थाओं को दिखाने के लिए एक सैंपल तैयार कर सकी।
Since I shoot, record audio and edit, I was able to begin the filming without hiring a crew and create a sample to show broadcasters and grant organizations.

किसी ऐसी कहानी के लिए फंडिंग ढूंढना हमेशा से मेरे लिए मुश्किल रहा है जिसका मैं वास्तविक समय में अनुसरण करना चाहती हूँ। वित्तपोषण करने वाले किसी ऐसे प्रोजेक्ट का समर्थन करने में झिझकते हैं जिसका अंत उन्हें पता न हो।
It's always been difficult for me to find funding for a story that I want to follow in real time. Financiers are hesitant to support a project when they don't know the outcome.

फिल्म के कुछ तकनीकी काम को खुद सीखना भी मददगार हो सकता है और इससे आप अपने दम पर फिल्म की शुरुआत कर सकते हैं। हालांकि, यदि आप किसी विचार को लेकर जुनूनी हैं, तो बस शुरुआत कर दीजिए।
Learning how to do some of the technical work on the film can be helpful too and allows you to start the film on your own. However, if you are passionate about an idea, just begin.

यह देखकर मुझे विशेष रूप से खुशी होती है कि डॉक्यूमेंट्री फिल्मों में इतनी सारी महिलाएं काम कर रही हैं।
I am particularly pleased to see that there are so many women working in documentary film.

"50 के दशक में जब मैं बड़ी हो रही थी, तब मैंने कभी "महिला फिल्म निर्देशक" के बारे में नहीं सुना था, इसलिए मैंने इसे एक विकल्प के रूप में कभी नहीं सोचा। लेकिन मैं भाग्यशाली थी कि 60 के दशक के अंत और 70 के दशक में, नारीवादी आंदोलन की वजह से, महिलाओं ने उन सभी क्षेत्रों में कदम रखना शुरू कर दिया जो पहले उनके लिए बंद थे और फिल्म निर्माण भी उनमें से एक था।"
When I was growing up in the '50s, I had never heard of a "woman film director," so I did not consider it as an option. But I was fortunate that in the late-'60s and '70s, because of the feminist movement, women were stepping into all sorts of careers that had been closed to them in the past and film was one of them.

जब स्टीव वाइज़ ने मुझे बताया कि वह अदालत में एक जज के सामने यह दलील देने का इरादा रखते हैं कि एक जानवर भी एक "कानूनी व्यक्ति" हो सकता है, तो यह एक अनोखा और शायद असंभव सा विचार लगा, लेकिन जितना अधिक मैंने इसके बारे में सोचा, उतना ही मैं इससे आकर्षित होता गया।
When Steve Wise told me that he intended to argue in court before a judge that an animal could be a "legal person," it seemed like a novel, possibly far-fetched idea, but the more I thought about it, the more I became intrigued.

मैंने हमेशा महसूस किया है कि डॉक्यूमेंट्री फिल्में मेरे लिए एक ऐसी दुनिया को करीब से देखने का अवसर हैं जिसके बारे में मैं कुछ नहीं जानता।
I have always felt that documentaries are an opportunity for me to witness a world that I know nothing about.

मैं माया डेरन से बहुत प्रेरित थी क्योंकि वह पहली महिला फिल्म निर्माता थीं जिनकी फिल्में मैंने देखी थीं। मुझे फेलिनी और गोडार्ड भी बहुत पसंद आए क्योंकि वे हॉलीवुड फिल्मों से बिल्कुल अलग थे। लेकिन जब मैंने ड्रू एसोसिएट्स द्वारा लीकॉक और पेनेबेकर के साथ बनाई गई सिनेमा वेरिटे फिल्में देखीं, तो मुझे अपने असली जुनून का पता चला।
I was inspired by Maya Deren because she was the first woman filmmaker whose films I saw. I also loved Fellini and Goddard because they were so different from Hollywood films. But when I saw the cinema verite films that were made by Drew Associates with Leacock and Pennebaker I found my passion.

अगर आप अपनी कला से प्यार करते हैं तो उसमें जुनून अपने आप आ जाएगा। मेरी ज्यादातर फिल्में ऐसे लोगों के साथ होती हैं जो अपने काम को लेकर वाकई जुनूनी हैं और किसी काम को बेहतरीन तरीके से करना जानते हैं।
If you love your craft there will be passion. Most of my films are with people who are really passionate about what they are doing and know how to do something well.

मेरी पसंदीदा फिल्म "मेषेज इन द आफ्टरनून" है, जो माया डेरन द्वारा निर्देशित एक लघु अवांट-गार्ड फिल्म है। यह पहली ऐसी फिल्म थी जिसे मैंने देखा और जो असल में एक महिला ने निर्देशित की थी।
My favorite film is "Meshes in the Afternoon," a short avant garde film directed by Maya Deren. This was the first film that I saw that was actually directed by a woman.
