Interesting facts

  • Based on: You Are Not I

You Are Not I is a 1981 American drama film directed by Sara Driver and starring Suzanne Fletcher, Evelyn Smith, Nan Goldin, and Lucy Sante. The film is based on the 1948 short story of the same name by Paul Bowles.

Production

The film was shot in six days for $12,000 as a thesis film for New York University.

It played widely at international film festivals, but a leak at a New Jersey warehouse destroyed the negative leaving Driver with a battered unprojectable copy. It was thought to have been lost, until a print was found at the holdings of Bowles. It has since been released on the DVD set "Driver X4: The Lost and Found Films of Sara Driver".
