"I think the thing that makes me cry most consistently in movies is when people don’t believe in themselves and somebody else gets them to see that they do have the strength and what it takes–that they aren’t these negative narratives that they’ve internalized and are not the product of those things. I think the reason that makes me cry is because that’s who I was growing up. I felt like I didn’t have anybody tell me that I was worthy or that I would amount to anything, or that I could make my dreams come true, essentially. I wanted that, even if I couldn’t articulate it at the time."

Great interview with Mass Com at Rock Valley College alum Bing Liu.

Filmmaker Bing Liu discusses the power of making things, creating intuitively, and the importance of continuously trying to be engaged.
