Hi Soledad! Big fan. Yesterday while I was waiting for your segment on CNN I saw coverage of the Mount Sinjar helicopter rescue mission. I understand that it's important to have news coverage of issues like this for the world to see, but as I watched the helicopter take off and leave people behind, I couldn't help but wonder, is it worth it to have a reporter and a cameraman on board if it means two civilians will be left in danger? Where do you draw the line when it comes to reporting and, for lack of a better term, getting in the way?

With Her, Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are (all amazing by the way) there seems to be a trend of lonely protagonists. Is there a particular reason you've taken on these types of characters? I'm a huge fan of your work and I'm also a film student at NYU, so if you ever need a free P.A. just let me know! Hopefully I'd do better than that poor soul who got hit with a bag by that old lady in Shanghai! :)
