PENELOPE SPHEERIS - Film Director
She admits that she has two distinct careers, one where she does mainstream Hollywood films like Wayne's World, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Little Rascals and the other, where she does independent music themed documentarieslike The Decline of Western Civilization films. She was the oldest of four children. She often had to look after her siblings because her dad was killed when she was seven and her mom worked several jobs. She often chooses to interview musicians with troubled backgrounds because she feels her background was just as troubled. "The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) was financed by two businessmen from the Valley who wanted to finance a porn movie. They had no idea I was going in to pitch a punk rock movie. I generally think about myself as someone who studies human behavior and is trying to figure out what the hell is going on in our current society. If I can leave any film that helps define a certain time after I'm dead then that's great." On why she does documentaries about metal and punk music, "I mean, look, you don't see me making documentaries on Britney Spears, you know what I mean? Sweetheart of a little girl, you know. Or Madonna.That's not my thing. I just like this harder edge stuff. That's just me."
