The actress also took a moment to shout out some of her entertainment industry peers, sharing how their work has inspired her as a creator. “The festival is so inspiring to me,” she explained. “I went to some of the shorts that Whoopi Goldberg curated on Sunday, and Kyra Sedgwick’s movie was also then.”She continued, “To feel everyone continuing to create and be there for each other. That’s what New York is about.”
