An interview with screenwriter Cristina Kotz Cornejo, Part II
Screenwriter, director and Chair of Emerson College's Department of Visual and Media Arts, Cristina Kotz Cornejo, discusses how identity, personal history and perspective influence her work and the projects she's compelled to create. She discusses her multi-cultural background and her past struggles in getting the stories of marginalized people and groups made for film. Part 2 of 2.
“What is setting your work apart? What is different? What is it that makes it worth having in the world? And that’s a huge question. And it can also be overwhelming. Sometimes I’m like, should I just stop making work myself? Everyone else is making work. But we’re here, and we’re moved to do something. And people are doing great work.”
