This excerpt, from an unfinished working print by Katja Raganelli for the 2024 Robert Altman retrospective at the Munich Film Museum, serves as a starting point to explore her production process, how she found collaborators like Tewkesbury, her development of project ideas from these encounters, and why some projects never reached completion.
