Tanya Wexler

Tanya Wexler is an American film director. She is known for her 2011 feature film Hysteria.

Born: August 5, 1970
I heard "romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator in Victorian England," and I was like, "You have got to be kidding me. Yes, I want to do that." And I had a bunch of small kids, and I didn't want something that was so impossibly difficult, a "broccoli movie." But I wanted something that meant something to me, so I just kind of said, "Let's go, jump in!" It took a long time to get Hysteria made, but it was really fun.
I figure if kids see a movie about 12-year-olds chopping each other up, they can probably see a movie where everyone keeps their clothes on and doesn't use foul language. — © Tanya Wexler

I like esoteric stuff but it's not my voice - it's not what I have to make. It helps to make something that's accessible. It's an expensive medium and people put up a lot of money and you can't take that lightly. It's a privilege and it's easy to be flip about it. There's a lot of bullshit, but most people in the film business aren't getting rich. They're working hard.
