Greta Gerwig is a well-connected actor in a growing network DIY independent filmmakers (here’s a flowchart). She starred as Hannah in Joe Swanberg’s Hannah Takes the Stairs alongside Mark Duplass. Now Mark and his brother Jay are following up their 2005 Sundance hit The Puffy Chair with Baghead, starring Gerwig. In this interview we talk about living in the woods in Texas, improvised dialog, and the dream of a low-budget indie Victorian period piece.

This girl always sounds like an absolute bumbling airhead– in interviews and the two movies I have seen her in. I just couldn’t possibly take her seriously. Not to mention her seriously sub-par acting ability. Baghead was a movie I enjoyed enormously… I just can’t quite get past how irritating she is.
