“Me and Kirby are very collaborative and it changes from film to film. The first project we worked on together, Derrida, we co-directed. The last film Outrage, I was the producer and he was the director. This film was much more of a collaboration - he is the director and I am the producer - but this is a film by both of us.” FirstsTogetherLastsFilmDirectorsProjectsProducersCollaborationOutrageDerrida Author:Amy Ziering
