Jacqueline talked about …

• the practicalities of managing a cast and stories across more than four languages, with kids, a dog, and on a ferry
• her use of cinematography and sound, and her filmmaking method
• where the title, Como el Viento (“like the wind”), comes from – a popular Spanish song she heard during rehearsals with the international cast.
