I believe that film is an opportunity to take people out of their normal mundane world's and draw them into a new world.
In my latest film, 'Stuck In Mute', I've exposed people to a world of silence, showing them the struggle of living in a world where words are not just a luxury, but a necessity.
If people can walk away from my film feeling something, happiness, sadness, hope, etc. Then I feel like I've made a meaningful film.
