Quote:
"I saw the call for Five Feminist Minutes and was totally flabbergasted and really happy when I was invited to make Exposure. I had experienced a lot of racism in the independent film sector. You know, the usual exclusions around who does or does not get funded...I put in a proposal about conversations among lesbians of colour and their experiences...One great thing was I got to distribute the film individually and it was picked up by Women Make Movies in New York.... But I really don't think I would have gotten to make this film without Studio D."
