'I hold on to the fact that cinema and film can challenge people. I believe that art has the power to change people, it changed my life. I also believe we have the responsibility in sharing these stories, and that's how I try to find the silver lining.' Matthew Victor Pastor on the challenges of film-making, racism, and hate speech.
'It's interesting because I'd like to say that it doesn't affect me. I don't want the trolls to know that it hurts because that gives them power. You can't really escape it, the hurting. the only thing you can do is deal with it and how you deal with it. For me, picking up the camera and making a film is how I deal with it and has always been how I deal with the world.' Matthew Victor Pastor
