看趙婷說故事
趙婷曾在就讀電影學院的期間，將行李打包上車，驅車橫越美國;最後在南達科他州的「松嶺印地安保留區」落腳。
她從當地景致及居民那裡汲取靈感；繼而創作出自己的第一部劇情長片《哥哥教我唱的歌》，内容描述一名想要離開居留區的少年。
趙婷隨後在與美洲原住民牛仔布雷迪·雅羅會面後，寫下了《重生騎士》。
接著又創作了《游牧人生》；這部片描述真人真事，勾勒出一群以車為家的人，他們橫越整個西部以打零工維生，一個工作換過一個工作。
在這三部長片中，趙婷都成功刻畫出在美國真實上演的人性故事。
2021年春天是趙婷電影豐收獲獎的時刻；她更寫下歷史，成為首位獲得奧斯卡最佳導演獎的亞裔女性。
這些獎項的認可使得趙婷成為好萊塢最出名的導演之一。
隨著名氣大增，趙婷的工作邀約變得更多。
不過，無論她選擇執導什麼片，她肯定會憑藉著自己絕佳的說故事天賦來完成一切。
Once during her years as a film school student, Zhao packed up her car and drove across the country. She ended up at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. She was inspired by the landscapes and the people. This inspiration led to her first feature film, Songs My Brothers Taught Me, about a teen who wants to leave the reservation. Zhao wrote her next story, The Rider, after meeting Native American cowboy Brady Jandreau. After that came Nomadland. It tells the true story of people who live in their vehicles and move from job to job throughout the West.

something in nature and put that into a painting or a
masterpiece that you make.
And sometimes inspiration or these ideas come suddenly.
That could also be a definition of inspiration.

nomadic lifestyle游牧式生活
digital nomads
A nomad is a person who moves from place to place rather than living in the same place all the time.
In the past, a nomad was a member of a group of people who moved from place to place, usually in search of new pastures for their flocks, such as the Bedouins who lived in the deserts of the Middle East.
The nomadic lifestyle describes a life of moving around and not settling in one place.
Someone with a nomadic lifestyle likely spends most of his or her time in someone else's accommodations, whether that is a hostel, short-term rental or Airbnb.
Today, we have digital nomads, people who use technology to earn a living while living a nomadic lifestyle. Unlike the Bedouins who had no choice but to move to find new pastures 牧草地，放牧場for their flocks, digital nomads choose the nomadic lifestyle and enjoy the freedom and adventure of living in many different places.
In all three films, Zhao successfully captures the humanity found in America. The spring of 2021 brought Zhao's films a number of awards. She made history when she became the first Asian woman to win an Oscar for Best Director. All of this recognition has made Zhao one of Hollywood's most celebrated directors. The more famous she becomes the more offers she receives. But no matter which offer Zhao chooses, she's sure to bring her splendid gift of storytelling to everything she does.
