Penny Lane on making Nuts!

The director of "Nuts!" talks about how she stumbled onto the history of John R. Brinkley and used his biography to find the shape of her unorthodox documentary, as well as having to devote some of her energy into make the type of documentary she’d hate to transcend the form, the online database she's creating to give audiences insight into how the film was put together and what is and isn't true, and the enduring relevance of Brinkley’s stories, and of all stories from the past.
