Quote:
"Some of the positions [in the all-female film crew for Below Her Mouth] were really, really hard to fill, you know, grip and electric, for instance. A lot of the sort of technical crew positions, there aren't a lot of women. And we were really, really lucky that we were able to assemble this fantastic crew. We had so many recommendations from people that I'd worked with, people that April [Mullen] had worked with, people who heard our story. A lot of guys that I had worked with in the past were calling me and saying, 'I have somebody for you.'"
