“I just love the cult following that it’s had,” Friedberg said in the call with Babbit and Kamerman.
Despite the film’s barriers, Babbit, Friedberg and Kamerman are all pleased with its longevity, particularly as they’ve seen it gain cachet with an entirely new generation this past decade.
“We were just making our weirdo indie film of queer joy and female power in a vacuum.”
