Zoe Cassavetes' Career
Zoe Cassavetes, best known for her 2007 debut film Broken English, became a filmmaker by her choice, not from the pressure of her hotshot parents.
Zoe during her release of Broken English back in 2007 spoke with UPI and explained how she ended up directing just like her father. She stated,
"I could be whatever I wanted to be. I had a really normal life,"
Adding to it, she opened about her journey to the world of filmmaking without missing out on fun outside the realm of glamour. Zoe expressed,
"People say, 'It took so long for you (to get into filmmaking).' I'm 36 years old. It was fun to wait until I had something to say. I traveled the world. I made a few shorts. I made a weird TV show. I worked at a hotel. I did all these things that kind of made me who I am. I'm happy to know who I am before getting into this stuff."
Moreover, following the footsteps of her father Zoe believed that he was more of a mentor giving her life lessons than directing lessons. Her dad left her with philosophies of life when she was just 18.
Meanwhile, she is a director known for The Thing Called Love (1993), The Powder Room (2011), Paris (2013), Day Out of Days (2015), Junior (2016) and My Dead Ex (2018).
