| | WOMEN MAKE MOVIES | Ruth Ozeki Lounsbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02) |
 | | Ozeki returned to New York and began a film career as an art director for low-budget horror movies, making sets and props for films with names like Robot Holocaust, Mutant Hunt, Breeders, and Necropolis. |
 | | During an interview at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, a journalist remarked, "So I suppose you've always dreamed of becoming a filmmaker?" to which Ozeki replied, "No, I've always dreamed of becoming a novelist." That year, dead broke like her hero Jane, she started writing My Year of Meats. |
 | | Ozeki says that she "was testing a hunch that even in literature, point of view, as we traditionally experience it, has been turned on its ear by MTV, editing, and multiple camera angles." She is very interested in the cross-over between documentary and fiction, paralleling the subjective/objective shifts in voice that occur in her novel. |
