Men have built the cities, made and defined the culture, interpreted the world. At no time in recorded history have women been culture-makers. Movies are arguably the most influential, important medium in the world. They have a tremendous cultural impact.

We can’t even see the impact of that yet.

I don’t think Laura approached anything in her life, be it producing movies, or battling cancer, or motherhood, or friendship in a traditional way. Like every great hero, she had a vision and she set us into motion and now its up to us to continue moving forward to achieve her dream. (of beating cancer)

There wasn’t a task that seemed impossible to her. Laura had the ability to dream big, she would scale things in her mind quickly, and I think that that’s one of the jobs of a producer, is to have a hope for a future. She set out to beat cancer, and not ‘her cancer’, but ‘Cancer’.
