“Filmmaking is challenging, and each day is different, but we have each other to lean on, and that’s encouraging. Find a group of people you can make films with, and make sure everyone is as enthusiastic as you are.” Ryan Kindahl
"Sometimes, I think that people are just beginning to catch on to this rich, creative, storied culture we have in the Deep South. But, we’ve always been here. Coming home has been key in discovering my truth, making my own art and opportunities, and finding other creatives to lean on."
"I want to use film as a medium to change the perspective of others. Cinema is a way for us to communicate about issues and begin to understand each other."
“The rule is to just make something. Make something that you can show other people. Don’t sit still and wait for someone else to tell you what to do. There are a lot of people that are willing to work harder than you. If you are sitting and waiting for someone to give you permission, then you are going to miss your shot.”
