Yahoo!: “Price Check” Star Parker Posey Talks Her Rise From “Party Girl” to Awards Emcee at the Sundance Film Festival

Yahoo! has posted a new interview with Parker. Much like the Vulture interview from this week, Parker discusses how Sundance and filming independent movies have changed over the years, as well as what interested her in her new movie, Price Check:

I love the script, and [writer/director] Mike Walker’s voice and the character. We could have done much better with more money and more time. Fifteen years ago there would have been more money for a voice with a story like this. Today there isn’t. It gets out there. It gets made. It hurts when it’s not perfect, when you want it to be made without so many concessions and sacrifices. But, in that same thing, with all the limbs you have to cut off, there’s exotic fruit, and there’s something that’s different about it. I don’t know what happened to support of the auteur in this country. It’s hurt me to see filmmakers like Rebecca Miller that can’t make another movie, filmmakers who have these voices and will work under these constraints. It’s hard for them to raise $1.5 million.

She even mentions what happened to the long-rumored John Waters movie Fruitcake:

I was attached to his last movie, “Fruitcake.” Then I was told they can’t raise money with my name attached because I’m too much of an indie queen. WTF does that mean? And then John Waters wrote me back and said, “Indie Queen, what about ME???”
