Trixie talks David
Speaking to World of Wonder about what it was like to work with her boyfriend, Trixie said:
Originally, I don’t like to work with anybody that I have a relationship with, but my manager at the time and David both came to me separately and said, “You should do a film about this section of your life because so many things are happening.”
It turns out that David went to school with the documentary’s director Nick Zeig-Owens, which is how Trixie and Nick came to making Moving Parts together.
