Richard Linklater's 1995 film Before Sunrise, a classic in the movie industry. The film received
glowing reviews and was considered one of the most significant films of the 1990s' independent
film movement.

Delpy has had an interest in film directing since her childhood, and enrolled in a summer

in 1995 which screened at the Sundance Film Festival. She made her feature length directorial
