A very special memory from Academy Award nominee Coralie Fargeat writer, director, and producer of THE SUBSTANCE, debuted by Letterboxd on 17 February 2025. “30 years ago, when I was 17 years old, I made a little Star Wars film. Using my family's camcorder, I animated my toys frame by frame in stop motion, disguised my friends as Ewoks and stormtroopers, and edited on a VHS video recorder (which was the top device at the time!). It was such an amateur endeavor, but everything I loved about making films was already there… It was the place where I felt free, passionate and alive, and able to fully express myself. It’s after I made this little film that I knew that I wanted to be a director... Today as I am nominated for Best Director, I can’t help but remember this little film... Follow your dreams!” —Coralie Fargeat
