The film traces the arc of Joan’s life through her own writings, and in her own voice. While her writing is fierce and exposed, Joan herself is an incredibly private person. Now we need to shoot key interviews with Patti Smith, Vanessa Redgrave, Michelle Williams, Cameron Crowe, Annie Leibovitz, Michiko Kakutani, Anna Wintour, Bret Easton Ellis, Scott Rudin, Jann Wenner, Graydon Carter, Allison Janney, Robert Silvers and Liam Neeson. “So far we have shot 60 hours of footage, primarily of Joan. The Year of Magical Thinking, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, and Play It As It Lays just a few of Didion’s works. Named for the compendium of Didion’s oeuvre, We Tell Ourselves Stories In Order to Live is the first and only documentary being made about Joan Didion, the American novelist and literary journalist. Live on Kickstarter, the film’s campaign is led by director, Griffin Dunne, who has known Didion his entire life and co-director award-winning filmmaker, Susanne Rostock. With the help of over 2,000 backers, the Joan Didian Documentary, We Tell Ourselves Stories In Order to Live, easily exceeded its modest $80K goal with over $121,800 in pledges.
