"I went to a place in Palestine where there was hardly any cinema and until now we are still part of this whole process of building an industry. And, um, so you learn, it's trial and error. You go there, you have a story. I think the thing that I learned that no education ever taught me is that it's persistence when it comes, especially to cinema. You will have every single door close in your face, but there is that window. And if that window is not open, you can climb up to the top of the roof and there will be a little place where you can sneak in and go in and try and do what you want to do. If you are persistent and you want to do it than you will, and it's very important to have a very good team around you that you're all on the same page."
