Taking off from Cholodenko's firsthand observations of the 1990s New York art world and her interest in such photographers as Nan Goldin and Larry Clark, High Art centered on a reclusive photographer-turned-junkie and the aspiring young art magazine editor who becomes infatuated with her.
Her interest in the darker reaches of character psychology, however, served Cholodenko well as a TV director, helming episodes of NBC's lauded Homicide: Life on the Street before it went off the air in 1999 and HBO's flly comic family drama Six Feet Under in 2001.
Cholodenko finally got to return to features when one of High Art's producers plucked Laurel Canyon out of turnaround purgatory.
Cholodenko, who previously worked as an assistant editor on such features as "Boyz N the Hood" and "To Die For," began writing this project while working on her MFA at Columbia University.
Cholodenko: When we were making it and cutting it, I always felt like it had a kind of honesty to it that was effective for me. But I knew also that it had a pace and a tone that might not work for general audiences.
Cholodenko: I felt like they were walking that really weird fine line between being sort of obsessed or smitten or drawn.
