“Very proud to have worked with David Shapiro. He’s made several amazing films.” - Christopher North
“An important film about a very troubled woman who’s also obsessed with a troubled artist. As a New Yorker, I’ll admit I like stories about New Yorkers and their intensities, their obsessions, as well as artists with their own proclivities including not taking care of oneself. Some tragedy upon tragedy here in this film. Some docs are a slice of life new to me, and I get to grow by scoring their story.” - Christopher North
“Expert assembly is particularly well served by a fine soundtrack of (mostly) new multi-artist cuts that sound like buried nuggets from the protag’s formative years in New York’s fertile multimedia punk/New Wave underground.” - Dennis Harvey
