It took Diane Paragas 17 years to get her film The Yellow Rose on screen. On this episode of Moment 2 Moment, the Filipina filmmaker discusses all the trials and tribulations that come with getting an independent film made in the modern age and why getting it right was so important. A firm believer that releasing a bad film can be career ending, Diane discusses how she stuck to her guns when she had to, lied to an investor for the chance to get it right, and always knew that Jeff Bridges was destined to be a washed up country singer.
