THE 100 LOVERS OF JESUS REYNOLDS
Ilya Chaiken (born February 10, 1973) is an American film director and screenwriter. She is best known for her debut feature Margarita Happy Hour, a film about motherhood, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001 and went on to the Los Angeles Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival. In 2004, her comedic short The 100 Lovers of Jesus Reynolds granted her a return to Sundance. (More from Wikipedia)

In fact, Holly Ramos had basically pulled an Orson Welles a few years later by writing, producing and starring in a short film in 2004 called The 100 Lovers of Jesus Reynolds; this film was also directed by Ilya Chaiken. For many years, the entry for this film on my website was at the top of the alphabetical list in the index that I at length completed around the middle of last year. There are three entries ahead of it now. I really should try to track down the indie films that Holly Ramos has been in; perhaps it is not an impossible mission.
