Hi Octane lasted for only one season but is remembered as one of the first series to be entirely shot in digital video. Her directorial debut was in 2000 on the Sundance Film Festival-featured short film Men Make Women Crazy Theory, but she is best known as the director and writer of the 2007 comedy-romance film Broken English, which featured Parker Posey and Gena Rowlands, Cassavetes" mother.
