Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...Columbia's Women Filmmakers, from Holofcener to Cholodenko: Not as Easy As It Looks (Video)
Holofcener admitted that she came to blows over casting a movie and was willing to let it die because "the studio and I couldn't agree on anybody. I'd rather not make it. Then we finally agreed."
Holofcener thanked producer Ted Hope for backing her early on with "Walking and Talking." At the start "I worked harder than I had to to prove to everyone on the crew that knew what I was doing because I cared about that. Now I don't do that at all."
She loves writing for Keener, knowing that she'll tell her if something is "dumb or corny, or stupid." On set Keener looks at Holofcener in her eyeline "to help her access what I need from her. She's crying on screen, I'm crying off screen. She's accessing what I once felt."
Dabis, the youngest of the group, worked as a staff writer on "The L Word." She raised Sundance lab film "Amreeka"'s micro-budget from various foundations as well as the Middle Eastern community. The film played the director's fortnight at Cannes and won the FIPRESCI prize. "The second movie is a bitch," said Dabis, who wasn't expecting to go through the same trouble all over again raising financing. "I have to accept that it's never going to be easy, it is what it is, and keep going."
