SWIMMING UNDERGROUND
During my first trip to the US in early September 2011, I met Mary Woronov, the former muse of Andy Warhol, The Velvet Underground, Richard Corman and Paul Bartel. Also famous for her notorious personal life, she spends her twilight years quietly, as a painter and writer in Los Angeles. A meditation on the painful process of getting older and what happens when one's 15 minutes of fame are up. A time piece filmed in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks.
