“We need the people with the power who are deciding what stories are told and who tells them to be women as well.”
“Zero fucks. Be brave. Don’t be afraid to share your opinion. Do what you want to do and if you don’t fit the mold then break the mold and be you.”

“Women are coming together collectively and raising their voices and we are more powerful that way. Change is actually happening. It’s incremental but it is getting better. We have to keep having each other’s backs and women need to keep speaking up.”
— Michelle Cameron

John Leguizamo, Michelle Cameron & Steve Buscemi discuss the 80% female & 50% POC crew on the set of NANCY.
Moderated by Eddie Huang.
“The mission behind the film was about us changing the landscape for women in film, so we hired all female departments. On top of that we had an all female producing team and all female financiers.”
— Michelle Cameron
“That’s the other thing you did, it was a very young crew, and you were also giving people a shot at positions that they had not worked at before. There was nobody on that set that didn’t want to be there 1,000%.”
— Steve Buscemi

“I think we’re starting to tell more diverse stories in independent film, which is great. To me that is the point of storytelling, to share stories that some of us would never normally be exposed to.”
— Michelle Cameron
