AFTER APPROXIMATELY A YEAR of research, we hit the road, interviewing people all over the country with Peter Stein (the talented DP who also shot my last film). We then settled into the editing room with hundreds of hours of footage, thousands of remarkable stills, and dozens of hours of historical audio tape. Editor Bill Anderson embraced the challenge, and thanks to him, months later, we’ve emerged with a finished film.

OUR AUDIENCE
I HOPE TUPPERWARE! is seen widely by kids, intellectuals, ordinary folks, history classes, history buffs, women’s advocates, direct sellers, business people, and Tupperware Ladies. I hope this film makes everyone who sees it laugh, but also leaves them thinking more deeply about the lives of women in the 1950s, which turn out to be far more interesting than our common stereotypes.
