Hot Docs 2009: Carmen Meets Borat Q&A
2009
Q&A with director Mercedes Stalenhoef. Video after the jump.
This was my favorite Q&A of the festival because Mercedes Stalenhoef is very eloquent and engaging and had a lot to say about the making of her film. There were also some pretty great questions, but I think that was because the theatre was packed.
Question: What did the family and the town think of the movie? Have they seen it?
Question: Did they get permission to use the footage from Borat the movie?
Question: How did Mercedes meet Carmen? How did this film come about?
Question: Were the lawyers in the movie real lawyers?
Question: How did the lawyers get involved?
Question:Does Mercedes secure funding for such a long shoot before the filming starts or does she need to continuously get funding?
Question: Did Sasha Baron Cohen ever apologize to the town of Glod?
