Bio

Born in Europe, raised for a while in Europe by American parents in the Diplomatic Corps. (but–– I hasten to add–– a Mother of French background) Raised also in California in a very disorganized artistic household... Started writing plays when I was 5, went to various exotic private schools, studied Hungarian ( Magyar,) Mongolian, Russian, Chinese, French, Italian, Latin and Greek (the least) and worked work-study jobs in the Pacific Film Archive–– which reactivated my film obsessions of childhood. Off to New York at the behest and from the pleading of playwright Harry Kondoleon, a kind of new Yalie in no particular mold–– but a follower at one time of Antonin Artaud; I became Dada and an obsessive dancer at clubs and drama/ asst. director or assistant with the same and elsewhere. Worked for lecherous guys and gals and rolled off casting couches even as a producer's Asst. Producer. Lived in art ghettos with weirdos who blew up other people's lofts if they were jealous and the " in the-in-crowd" hoi polloi; wrote things; painted things; and eventually paid my tuition to NYU Film school. Made films, sold a film ( comedy ) to KINO, Int., an art film distributor. (Distributes Fellini♡ ) Several hundred plot twists later I ended up living in France for 5 years more or less (it all adds up––really–– to about 7.) I resist definition but one can draw one's own conclusions. I am very stubborn and I am going to be a FEMALE film director again! Hypotheses are helpful!
