Birkaç yıldır Türk filmleri Londra'da gereken ilgiyi göremiyor, temsil edilemiyor." dedi.

Her ülkenin filmleri ve dizilerinde kendi kültürünü yansıttığını ifade eden Kızılırmak, Türkiye'nin bu alanda dünya çapında ilerleme kaydetmeye başladığına dikkati çekti. "Anlatacak gerçekten çok hikayemiz var." diyen Kızılırmak, "Oyunculara, yapımcılara, enstitülere, devletimize ve fon sağlayıcılara çok iş düşüyor. Bunlar kolektif bir şekilde çalışmalı." görüşünü paylaştı. Kızılırmak, Türkiye'nin film ve dizi alanında kendi anlatım dilini geliştirmeye başladığını vurgulayarak, "Kendi tarzımızı ortaya koymaya başlıyoruz. Gittikçe bütün dünyanın duyacağı ve bütün dünyayı ilgilendiren projelere imza atacağımızı düşünüyorum." dedi.
