If funding takes away your freedom… reject it
If it involves manipulating your story… reject it
If it involves changing who you are … reject it
When filling the application form for any fund make sure they are not forcing you to lie or pretend to know answers about your film which are not clear to you. Respect the process of creation, a film takes shape in time, it is not a building nor a mathematical equation, it is a living being, it is you.
Be free
You are enough!
I believe in you
