Fashion designer Georgina Chapman handled her Project Imagination directing debut, A Dream of Flying, similarly to her clothing line's collections.

"I found there were quite a few parallels," she told EnStars at Canon's Project Imagination Film Festival on Thursday. "I approached the film very much how I approach a collection. I built mood boards and worked from that. It's a very different discipline but there are similarities."

The co-founder of the fashion house Marchesa also received some direction from her husband, film producer Harvey Weinstein, as well as the night's curator and Oscar-winning director Ron Howard.

"I actually asked a lot of questions. He was fantastic and he offered me wonderful advice," she said of Weinstein, whom she wed in 2007. "But, we had the great fortune of having Ron Howard as our mentor so he was let off the hook a little bit."
