None of This Matters

A funny and inspiring feature-length documentary currently being shot.  In the midst of a personal crisis, filmmaker Shaina Feinberg seeks out guidance from Joan Darling, an octogenarian director who has retired to Maine. During her first visit, Shaina realizes the impact Joan has had on hundreds of artists over the past 60 years; from Mary Tyler Moore to Steven Spielberg and The Daniels. Shaina also uncovers Joan's one regret; never having made the book Tortilla Curtain into a film. On the cusp of Joan's 90th birthday, Shaina races against the clock to help Joan fulfill this dream. Based on Shaina Feinberg’s hit short film I almost Quit My Career for My Kids, Then I Met Joan Darling, exclusively published online by The New York Times, May, 2025.
