"Scenes will change while you're shooting them, and you just have to roll with it 'cause that's what makes it funny. It's not being stuck in your character and how you're gonna do something, but to react to other people and to really have a real-life conversation." -Yara Shahidi #WednesdayWisdom

"The thing about Star Wars is that every single person is important. Even though Rey is a big role, everyone influences everyone. If that wasn't so, why would so many people remember Admiral Ackbar?" -Daisy Ridley #WednesdayWisdom
To day is THE day! There's definitely room for you on our door so be sure to stop by and talk to us about all of the opportunities to help out! See you at 5 👋
The first rule of BWFF is you don't talk about BWFF. (jk, please tell all your friends and family members and don't forget to stop by our table at GOBD and say hi 👋)
Skip the BWFF table at Get on Board Day? As if! If you're a filmmaker or interested in helping us out this year, be sure to stop by our table on Tuesday!
"For me, filmmaking combines everything. That's the reason I've made cinema my life's work. In films, painting and literature, theatre and music come together. But a film is still a film." -Akira Kurosawa #WednesdayWisdom
“Annie taught me that orphanages were a blast and being rich is the only thing that matters. Grease taught me being in a gang is nonstop fun and you need to dress sexier to have any chance of keeping a guy interested.” -Amy Poehler #WednesdayWisdom
