- Wanted to do the movie when she was 17

- Compares movie made by women vs. by men. For example, Catherine Corsini’s "La Belle Saison" and Abdellatif Kechiche's "La vie d'Adèle" (Blue Is the Warmest Color), about the latter she says she feel bad for them and didn't find the sex scenes exciting at all. It's different what a guy finds sexy vs. what a woman finds sexy.

- Women directors in France have more power than in the US. In France, if you have a good script, is not because you’re a female that you cannot make your movie. There is the same problem with salary in both countries though.




"Breathe" follows Charlie, a high school teen who gets wrapped up in a dangerous relationship with the rebellious new girl, Sarah. It's like "Blue Is the Warmest Color," without a focus on sexuality and overly saturated sex, filmed from a female perspective.
