“I'd agree to a film because it sounded like it was going to be filmed ...” — Charley Boorman Quote

I'd agree to a film because it sounded like it was going to be filmed in a nice place and only afterwards I would check out the story to find it was rubbish.

There were just two of us women filmmakers at Sundance in '94, and there was no sense of camaraderie or welcoming - no fault of Sundance. And I took it really personally and it took me a long time to get over it. That was a part of my retreating afterwards. The other part was, I just couldn't get financing, and it was so frustrating.
