DIEGO CALVA’S Life at the Movies
Q: When did you first realize cinema could be a career or art form for you?
Around adolescence, after skate culture and watching films that spoke to real life in Mexico City; it clicked that movies could shape identity and storytelling, not just entertainment.
TATIANA MASLANY'S Life at the Movies
Q: Which films shaped your view of performance and cinema?
She cites There Will Be Blood, Sunrise, Rope, and A Woman Under The Influence as pivotal, noting how performances, direction, and craft influenced her own acting and appetite for cinema.
TATIANA MASLANY'S Life at the Movies
Q: What first drew you to cinema and how did you realize people make movies?
Maslany reflects that she started acting very young and would help create films with her family, realizing early that films are made by people and that she could participate in that process.
DANIEL GOLDHABER'S Life at the Movies
Q: What's a moment that cemented your love for film and made you want to become a filmmaker?
Watching The City of Lost Children as a child, after being introduced to Kurosawa and Kubrick through a mentor, sparked a deep curiosity about worlds with their own rules and political ideas, and set me on a path toward compulsive, worldwide cinema exploration.
