The Great Queen of Provocative Filth

Meeting my Childhood Idol John Waters

Making a movie is one of the most challenging things I have ever set out to do. Whenever I get frustrated or feel lost in the process of making my documentary film on Jerome Caja, I always turn to other artists that inspire me. I immerse myself in their art.

I just read Carsick and it is FABULOUS!

I also went to the sold-out book-signing event sponsored by Book Shop Santa Cruz at the Del Mar Theater. John Waters was hysterical live! He had a huge impact and influence on my becoming a filmmaker. As a queer kid growing up in Cleveland, Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble were life lines. I cannot tell you how nice it is to meet your childhood idol in person.

Thank you John Waters!
