Linda Gillen WHY

At the recommendation of Jeannie Berlin, I joined the cast of this film while it was still in rehearsals. Victor Stoloff was the director, at that time the cast was Jeannie, OJ and Danny. Other actors came and went; eventually we had our cast set as we continued to improvise and create the characters for several weeks until we finally were ready to shoot it at the Technicolor Studios in Hollywood.

Lee Garmes was the cinematographer; it was thrilling to meet the man who was  Joseph Von Sternberg’s cinematographer as well as filming the burning of Atlanta sequence for “Gone With the Wind” among many other films.

This was the first full length film shot in the new medium of video.

(FYI the info on IMDB is incorrect in terms of the characters names and the running time. It’s a full length film)
