"He's enthusiastic about his directors, through his work with Mirror and the X-Dance Film Festival. I'm excited to see how he can broaden the work I've been doing, not just focusing on fashion and beauty but also opening me up to new opportunities in areas like automotive and sports, which are visceral and active."
