    On challenges

    • What Saigon and the general Vietnam filmmaking community lacks right now is good writers – she doesn’t know why this is the case for the time being (Chim: I think rote educational practices is to blame)
    • Right now, directors are writing their own films, because they have to (google the aforementioned list of films Jenni has worked on)
    • Pretty mucheverything she has learned about filmmaking had to be thrown out the window once she started in Vietnam
    • Here, you have to be on your feet and go with the flow – there is always a lot of problem-solving
