Famous Agoraphobic Woman Tells All!
See Old Portland before it was old with this feature shot in Portland and Happy Valley in 1999. The miniDV tapes the film was recorded on were lost, then found, then lost, then found again, and the film was finally completed in 2024.
FAMOUS AGORAPHOBIC WOMAN TELLS ALL! is SUNSET BOULEVARD minus the glamour and Hollywood stars. Set in suburban Oregon, we instead follow Zoe Marks, a washed up commercial actor who’s still hoping to make it big and failing miserably. When her disastrous public access show turns her into a shut in, she fills her days writing ghost novels and fearing for the kid next door. Then one day an errant satellite crashes and Zoe’s heroic actions thrust her into the celebrity status she’d always craved. But by this point, she doesn’t want it.
