Comments This article featured in Elle delves into who Moorhouse actually is and how she works on sets in directing her films. Shooting her first American film, ‘How to make an American Quilt’, it was stated that when she left the whole team actually gave her quilt; a representation of her journey through making the film. It shows that Moorhouse does not only direct but also makes friendships when she is doing what she loves. This piece gives us an insight on who Jocelyn Moorhouse as a director really is. Labelled ‘warm hearted’, and ‘natural’ with a ‘contagious laugh’ this piece this piece reveals how Moorhouse was welcomed with open arms into the American film industry. It helps us understand her journey and taste for success after Proof, but reveals that she is still human and a family and a stable home is her priority as well, especially since her and her husband have a 5 y.o son, Dowie. However Moorhouse believed in journeys and was not afraid to take one. It points out that at the beginning luck was on Moorhouse’s side and to be picked out by Steven Spielberg shocked Moorhouse just as much as it shocked the rest of the film industry. It is helpful in understanding Jocelyn’s first journey in America as director of ‘How to make an America Quilt’ alongside Spielberg.
Synopsis Elle Magazine identifies Moorhouse’s first journey in America with her first movie ‘How to make an American quilt’. It identifies her family issues, her love for the unbeknown and lets us in on Moorhouse’s modest approach as a director in the American film industry.
