It's always been difficult for me to find funding for a story that I want to follow in real time. Financiers are hesitant to support a project when they don't know the outcome.
Chris HegedusI am particularly pleased to see that there are so many women working in documentary film.
Chris HegedusI was inspired by Maya Deren because she was the first woman filmmaker whose films I saw. I also loved Fellini and Goddard because they were so different from Hollywood films. But when I saw the cinema verite films that were made by Drew Associates with Leacock and Pennebaker I found my passion.
Chris HegedusI have always felt that documentaries are an opportunity for me to witness a world that I know nothing about.
