"I would love to. It’s definitely something that it’s a priority for me. I don’t know exactly when, but at the moment, you know, I’m promoting a movie and I start ‘Three-Body Problem’ for a few months now, and so hopefully after that I’ll have more time, but you never know."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Eiza González, actor – on Guy Ritchie:
(Reporter: "Do you have somewhere a contract with Guy Ritchie signed in blood?")
"With blood? I feel like I do, now that you bring it up. I do. I mean, I’m just, in my heart, I guess. I love him to death. And I’m so grateful for him. And I’ve had an incredible experience having a mentor like him in my career. It’s very rare that you get such a level of filmmaker to mentor you as a woman in film. And so it’s always exciting when you find someone that picks you as, like the person that they want to kind of guide and I’m just so grateful for him."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Rungano Nyoni, director and screenwriter – on being an honouree:
"Both of my films are in Zambia, and the next one probably will be in Zumbia. It’s always difficult to raise finance in that part of the world, and then when Red Sea contacted me, because I knew very little about the festival, I discovered that they fund films in Africa. They’re very rare. It’s a very rare thing that you find people that finance films in that part of world. So I was very excited. So, yeah."

"Well, I mean, I feel really lucky that I came up in the Sundance Labs with a lot of women who paved the way for me. Jessie Nelson is somebody who is a huge inspiration for me and was a mentor of mine at the Sundane Labs. Kasi Lemmons, also another woman who totally inspires me, and I feel so lucky that I’m making films now and that I’m standing on the shoulders of all of the women who came before me."
