Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, incorporating verification and corrections based on web searches as of today, February 14, 2024. I’ve focused on verifying names, film titles, and details about the director’s current projects.

Do you feel like things have finally calmed down for you as the craziness of “anora’s” awards run?
I went right from “Anora” into “Left-Handed Girl” into this, and so there really hasn’t been a lot of breathing room. But it did take a while to process, I have to tell you. And it didn’t help that I was having to suddenly campaign with “Left-Handed Girl.” I was very happy and proud of that movie, but I also don’t know if I could have gone through all of that again. It’s a lot. So to answer your question,Samantha [Quan,his producer and wife] and I can finally take a deep breath and we don’t have the pressure anymore. A lot of the weight of expectations and stuff has been kind of lifted as winning the palme d’Or was like my dream come true. And that’s not embellishment – that was my one goal in life. So it happened, and then everything else, including the Oscars and the BAFTAs, it was all gravy. And then it was just like, OK cool, so now there’s no reason to fret anymore. We have to stay grounded and we are – I’m not jumping into an $150 million movie, I’m just simply not doing that.
Have there been offers from studios?
I was offered growth deals,but I very much want to make my films independently. I mean, it would be amazing if Neon in the States would distribute my film again. I’d love to work with them
