The Broken Hearts Gallery director praises Selena Gomez for being 'perfect producer'

Film director Natalie Krinsky praised singer Selena Gomez for her role as executive producer in the movie The Broken Hearts Gallery.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Krinsky said that Gomez was "perfect" to work with because she understood her boundaries as a producer and allowed her to express her creativity freely. 

"She was the perfect producer, because she was a great creative voice but still empowered me to do my thing," she said. 

"I think that’s always the most important thing with producers, is that they step in when they’re needed and they also know when to step back."

The director further said that Gomez "empowered" her to shoot the movie however she wanted, while accepting creative input from the singer. 

"She was really instrumental, especially in the beginning and a lot of our initial creative conversations, I was taking the reins to direct and she really empowered me to go off and direct the movie that I wanted to make, and I am so grateful to her for that," she said. 

"When we were doing cuts her voice was definitely heard and so valuable, but she is a wonderful producer in that she knows exactly when to creatively participate, and then when to give the artists their voice in the room and I think that comes from being an artist herself. It was a great balance, I would say," she said.
