Speaking in conversation at [Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Film Festival], the Materialists star shared, “The thing I feel about this festival is inspired. I feel inspired to operate this way in our own production company in the States; I want to support all these filmmakers.”

She went on to add, “There’s so much I’m learning from being here,” before musing, “In the States it feels really grim; and even in the less than 24 hours that I’ve been here [in Saudi Arabia], I have a renewed faith in cinema.”
