Emilie is a student in NY. She’s been passionate about directing since high school, always seeking feedback from friends and colleagues on her films, which she considers a key part of her creative process. However, during critique sessions in class, she often feels overwhelmed and struggles to remember the feedback, making it hard for her to apply it later.
