Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Hardwicke knows her stuff. Before becoming a blockbuster director, she worked as a production designer on films by Cameron Crowe (Vanilla Sky) and Richard Linklater (SubUrbia). Then she took the director’s chair for cult classics like Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown, before launching one of the most iconic franchises of the 2000s—Twilight.
She’s also part of this year’s international jury at the Mediterrane Film Festival, so this is your chance to learn from someone with deep industry experience—right here in Malta.
