Joan Tewkesbury reflects on her collaboration with Robert Altman and her first feature, Old Boyfriends (1979). This excerpt, from an unfinished working print by Katja Raganelli for the 2024 Robert Altman retrospective at the Munich Film Museum, serves as a starting point to explore her production process, how she found collaborators like Tewkesbury, her development of project ideas from these encounters, and why some projects never reached completion.
