Gregor Jordan, the director of Dirt Music (2019),had this to say about Ava: "When you find the right person, who really has all this natural talent and is perfect for the role, they are really just sort of doing it themselves. You don't necessarily have to do much, you might have to tell them where to stand and tell them where to look sometimes, but I'm always just blown away by the natural creativity of people like this. Ava was just incredible on set. She was just so cooperative and creative and was just so excited about being there."
