First-time Producer Vera
Anderson began raising monies for independent filmmakers
while living in Italy in the early seventies. Since then she has become
a well-known
photographer, with credits including Jack Nicholson, Salma
Hayek and David Lynch. The late Sam Peckinpah convinced her to start
writing while they were working on one of his last unfinished projects, The
Baja Papers. Vera is currently the Los Angeles Bureau Chief of Cine
Premiere Magazine, writing about Hollywood for the Latin American
market while continuing to pursue her own photo-documentary projects.
Featured on CNN and The Today Show, her first book, A
Woman Like You, received the 1998 Small Press Book Award. The Dogwalker is the first of
many projects Vera and writer-director Paul Duran plan to launch through
their company, Rita Films. |
