thirteen conversations about one thing


Jill Sprecher wrote the script for Thirteen Conversations About One Thing in collaboration with her sister Karen, as with her previous film and directorial debut, Clockwatchers (1997). The script was written over an eight week period and finished before Clockwatchers was released, but due to a lack of funding the film took over three years to make. The plot was inspired in part by autobiographical events in Jill Sprecher's life, including two muggings and a subway assault. The housekeeper Beatrice is based on Sprecher's personality when she first moved to Manhattan after graduating. Several planned scenes were cut due to budgetary constraints.
