A dramatized portrait of Susy James, a teenage runaway living in her boyfriend’s car. Original score by Jill Kroesen. In the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the National Gallery of Canada.
Eight years later, I shot Susy again, married with a one year old child, which became  It Happens to the Best of Us.

In 1974 I co-founded ReelFeelings, a collective of women with various skills (none of which included filmmaking) who wanted to make films. We borrowed equipment, took workshops and taught ourselves how to make films that represented our own experiences, in this case the comic intersection between fantasies about love and marriage and what really happens. Selected for the International Festival of Women’s Films, NYC 1976.

Read about the film in Renee Baert’s article in Screen Magazine 1995, Skirting the Issue
