#FemaleFilmmakerFriday features Actress and Screenwriter Inez Robertson.
The art of storytelling has an irreplaceable impact on the world, and that's what inspires me. The beauty of filmmaking is that it allows us to share stories and experiences across language and culture, creating a magical connection that unites us all. Being part of that spectrum of emotions, from love to fear, from comedy to hope, is a joy and a privilege that I cherish.
Keeping my creativity alive is something that's constantly evolving as I continue to grow and learn in this industry. However, one thing that remains the same is the importance of play. It can be easy to lose sight of what drew me to creativity in the first place when it's become my job, but I try to remind myself that imagination is the root of everything I create. Before filmmaking became a career, I was always the kid in the backyard forcing my sister to act out scenes from my favourite shows. I carry that spirit with me to this day – it keeps me grounded and reminds me that all the rejections and difficulties I've faced don't define what I'm capable of.
