My process is quite crazy, erratic, and I arrive at it later. It’s not something I know like, okay, this is the beginning, this is the middle, this is the end.

It doesn’t work like that for me.” She also stated that she and her team tend to improvise on set.She also spoke about Toxic, which she described as a ‘gangster drama with a female gaze’ and stated, “All the scripts I’ve written are It’s the first time for my next film, I have a writer’s room, and I think they’ve given up on me. They hate me.

You have to evolve; I get bored otherwise. So, I think I write something, I shoot something else, I edit something else, and then the film is out. Then I’m happy.
