“Specificity is the core of my work. I’ve always wanted to be specific — even to the point where the Haitian Creole language is spoken in my films and being clear that it isn’t French and why it’s different — because our specificity is our identity. Once we get to the core of who we are, those experiences and stories are then universal.”
