DESPERATELY SEEKING SOMETHING

 

The funny and insightful first-person story of the trailblazing movie director of the 80s and 90s whose fearless punk drama, “Smithereens,” became the first American indie film to compete at Cannes, and whose smash hit “Desperately Seeking Susan” led to a four-decade career in film. 

“This is the book we’ve been desperating seeking; you’ll find bits of yourself in her exhilarating journey.”
—Allison Anders, director of “Gas Food Lodging”

“A super-relatable, unputdownable tour de force. I just love this book!”
—Marisa Acocella, bestselling author of Cancer Vixen

“It’s an enthralling look at a trailblazing filmmaker’s perseverance and vision.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
