'Penny and I liked each other as people, but she truly disliked me as her cinematographer.' Read an excerpt from 'Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker'

The producer, Bobby Greenhut, was the best in New York, producing many of the movies filmed there. If I could get in his good graces, maybe I could work in my hometown more often. Greenhut had a wicked sense of humor.
I was working on a SONY industrial for Howie Meltzer and Jon Klee. We were prelighting the stage for tomorrow’s puppet work when my cell phone rang.“I was walking to work this morning, and I realized we start filming in ten weeks and we still don’t have a cinematographer so I said to myself, ‘Why not just hire that idiot Sonnenfeld?’”“What are you talking about? I’m offering you the job.”
Penny didn’t like to make decisions and wanted as many options as possible. I came from film school, where each eleven minute roll of film, from raw stock through developing, cost several hundred dollars. For a film student, the solution was to preplan the edit and make every decision before you started to roll very expensive film.
One weekend about halfway through the show I went to my local East Hampton IGA and bought a box of Depends adult diapers. I took off my pants and underwear, put on a set of Depends, and, thank God, stepped into the bathtub and peed. That’s when I discovered what Depends don’t do. It turns out they’re not designed for full‑on urination, so much as an occasional dribble. As the urine rapidly cascaded down my leg — those were the days — I said to myself, “Good to know.
Before I could respond, Bobby put his arm out in front of me to stop any further discussion and announced:For Hanks’s company’s Christmas party, Penny asked the prop person to have caviar, knowing Tom would be brilliant in how shocked and disgusted he was by the taste. She also asked for baby corn, so that Tom could pick up the little pickled appetizer and eat it like it was a corn on the cob. Penny really knew where a joke was.
DeVito and I loved working together on Throw Momma From the Train, and he was a fan of my visual style. Danny was a friend of Penny’s, so it made sense she would have given him a call.“No. It’s okay. It’s just that you’re not very good.”
