“I just see all these men getting hundreds of millions of dollars, and then I’m fighting for a tiny fraction of that,” she said. “I think it’s just left over from the way the culture of that business is. It’s frustrating, but I’m always fighting to get it, and I’m just happy to get to make my movies independently and find people that believe in them.”
Sofia was given a small $20 million budget for Priscilla. Thus, she was forced to get creative with the production.
“There’s a challenge and a freedom in making things small because if you have a big budget, you have a lot of input from studio executives, and I would never be able to make a movie like that,” she explained. “So, I have that freedom, and then you have to be really crafty, and it was really hard, but I had the best team.”
