She is best known for Vali (1967), a 65 minute film about Vali Myers in her 14th-century cottage Il Porto, Italy and Dope (1968 film) which premiered at the 1968 Locarno Festival under the title "Head" and featured counterculture icons such as Marianne Faithful, Geno Foreman, Vali Myers and performances by Pink Floyd.
Vali screened at MoMA in 1966 [3] and was reviewed by Andrew Sarris in the Village Voice [4] Dope was officially screened at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1975.
Her work with experimental theater company The Living Theaterled to her collaboration in two documentaries about their work, Invasion of the Thunderbolt Pagoda in 1968 and Paradise Now in 1970.
