Sally Potter’s work has, from the early 1970s, embraced dance, theatre, music and film. After her cult hit with the short film Thriller (1979), Potter directed her first feature, The Gold Diggers (1983), starring Julie Christie.
   Potter then made another short, The London Story (1986), and several documentaries before the internationally acclaimed and multi-award-winning Orlando (1992), starring Tilda Swinton. This was followed by The Tango Lesson (1996) and The Man Who Cried (2000), starring Christina Ricci, Johnny Depp, Cate Blanchett and John Turturro. In 2004 Potter made Yes, starring Joan Allen, Simon Abkarian, and Sam Neill. In 2007 she created a new production of Carmen for English National Opera, and is currently working on a range of projects in film, theatre and the Internet. As with all her films, Potter has written the screenplay for RAGE.  She has a blog and interactive message board at www.sallypotter.com.
