 So that's how I learned that I had made an exploitation film.Then I went and did some research to find out exactly what exploitation films were, their history and so forth, and then I knew that's what I was doing, because I was making low-budget films that were transgressive in that they showed more extreme things than what would be shown in a studio film, and whose success depended on their advertising, because they had no stars in them.It was dismaying to me, but at the same time I decided to make the best exploitation films I could.
