Synopsis Director Jennifer Lynch’s ill-fated production of creature-feature Hisss is captured in excruciating detail in Penny Vozniak’s gripping documentary about the pitfalls of Bollywood-Hollywood co-productions. With her daughter in tow, Lynch battles a cyclone, superstition, and anything else the gods can throw at her in pursuit of a finished film. Variety called it, “a penetrating, highly entertaining portrait of Lynch as an artist and single mother living through the despairing lows and exhilarating highs of filming on the subcontinent.”
