Ava DuVernay on her greatest motivator

Isn't this exactly why we do what we do?

"It's magic that I can conjure emotion through my work. The design and the writing and the direction can make you feel something. I pick what I want to get out of the scene, and through music, color, performance, and words, I'm able to manufacture and change how you think. I can be in your head, and I love it. I'm always looking at, "How can I manufacture emotion here in its highest form?" "

Annelies Morlion This is awesome! Conjuring emotion is exactly why we do what we do. As a writer of TV Drama and thrillers, I absolutely agree. We can create worlds to which other people can escape to, when they grow tired of this one.

And characters that grab us and don't let us go, even when we've said goodbye to their world.
