it would be Lena Dunham. There are frequent references and homages to Woody and the general style owes much to Nora. The outcome is oddly hypnotic. There are a few LOL moments, like when the main character's arty mother tells her to look for something in the "white cabinet." Our protagonist turns around and faces a wall of white cabinets and begins the search. The question and the answer were both pointless and we know this mother and daughter have asked and answered them all their lives.
Dunham shot this film for about $25,000 and cut it together for about $20,0000. Amazing. I was unaware of that while watching the film and did not suspect this was an extremely low budget project.
