\\u201cBecause if you don\\u2019t tell your story, who\\u2019s going to?\\u201c she reasons in an interview with Globetrotter. She also encouraged her fellow female filmmakers, especially in Asia, to be brave despite the blatant sexism in the industry. \\u201cI\\u2019m here to tell you that things are changing in a big, big way,\\u201d she says. \\u201cAnd the more of us that are around, the safer and more conducive the environment is, for more of us to come in in the future as well.
