“In the shadow of a new government, the major industry figures who had moved for the (2001) ouster or had remained silent during the political noise stopped returning my calls. But more importantly, I questioned if my audience’s values and my own were still the same. The alienation affected me such that I could not resume making films for an audience I felt I had lost connection with, including people I grew up and went to school with. I came away from it with feelings of self-doubt.”
