Gerwig also shared that during one of the screenings, she heard a woman cracking up over a particularly zingy one-liner about the Proust Barbie. “And I was like, ‘That joke was for you!’” she told the festival audience. The director added that  the film was “the most joyful” experience she has ever had on a set. “I thought, if I can make a movie that is half as fun to watch as it was to make, I think maybe we’ve got a shot,” she said. Gerwig also admitted that she sometimes dealt with self-doubt about the script and some of her creative choices. 

While she continues to bask in Barbie’s success, Gerwig is working on something new. “I’m in the writing process,” she said at the festival, adding that she is still grappling with self-doubt. “It’s hard because I’m having recurring nightmares.”
