Was wondering if you know Marisa Silver, author of The God of War, the story, set in Bombay Beach, about a family similar to the Parrishes?

“Back then, I don’t think I really knew what intimacy was, but during the
making of this film, I understood that I didn’t want to steal anything
from these people. I wanted to reach a state of intimacy with them that
was genuine and to be honest about what I wanted to do. Although
neither did I want to completely ruin the magic of discovering things
together by explaining too much. The trust and intimacy was a process
and the friendships grew as I continued to film with them. We would do
creative things together or I would help them out with certain things.
It was really special. But saying that reduces the process, somehow,
since I’m sure most documentary filmmakers experience that in one way or
another. But I think doing those creative things together gave them
insight into what I was trying to do, making me less “the enemy behind
the camera” who was trying to steal things from them, and more like a
collaborator.”
