Damn that’s crazy.
I feel there’s somewhat of a gap between “We owe each other something as fellow human beings” and “Give me money for my vanity project so that I don’t need to spend my own money on it”.
I’m very confused and seems to me more like a PR stunt or just a bad reporter.
So…between her and her husband, and the movie that is streaming on Hulu, they can’t afford the mortgage and are in default? Because the article says nothing about defaulting on the mortgage or that she is selling the house to may the mortgage off.
You shouldn’t make a movie with money you don’t have?
They always say never use your own money in Hollywood.
It doesn’t sound like she made a bad film, but just wasn’t able to get it financed or sell it at cost after the fact. And then it seems like all the famous friends and coworkers she’s known didn’t help her market it like she’d hoped.

Guilt-shaming because the audience didn’t make her movie successful seems an odd choice. This is the first I’ve heard of her movie, so perhaps a lack of promotion was a contributing factor. If I was going to put my house on the line, I’d make damn sure there was enough promo money so the film had a fair shot.
