Ironically, the film I was to present was Mission: Impossible.

So I'm really proud of that.

I'm happy that my films were discovered by chance by foreign film festivals. That makes me realise more that there is a world outside Japan too.

Salma and I had run into each other once or twice at film festivals because I was doing the press for Real Women Have Curves at the same time she was doing the press for Frida.
