As a member of Lange's extended family, Meg Partridge has known Lange and her children, grandchildren, close friends and associates her entire life.
While promoting "Portrait of Imogen" Meg was asked what her next project would be. Almost without thinking, she replied that she would make a film on Dorothea Lange, another photographer in Meg's life that had made a great impression on her. The film started with the transcription of over 36 hours of interviews of Dorothea Lange. These interviews became the backbone of the narrative. The film also includes interviews of Dorothea Lange's photographic assistants, Ron Partridge and Chrissie Gardner, and her sons, John and Dan Dixon. This film is a tribute to both the artist and the woman Meg Partridge loved and admired. The ability to conduct close personal interviews with Dorothea's sons and assistants gives a very personal and candid tone to the entire film. |
