Shapiro took time from her busy schedule for an e-mail interview. With the exception of the one included in Kent Graham's script title, all the exclamation points are hers, which demonstrates her enthusiasm for the art form.

How long has your award-winning prodco been in business?
Started developing projects in 1995. Shot our first feature film in 1997.

Why did you decide to pursue independent film making over working for a major studio?
I never had the opportunity to work for a studio. I had a script that I wanted to make, and doing an independent production was the only way I could get it done.
