Nina has always been a bit too pushy for my tastes. When she was on set, it was a running joke that she was the co-director. Some of her ideas were good - others not so good. In a movie entitled Peeping Tom, she took Tracey Adams into the bathroom, slicked and sprayed her hair back into a bun, changed her make up completely, and announced that Tracey was going to 'dom' her in an upcoming scene. The problem: Tracey was a major star and Nina's makeover made her unrecognizable. It was just a waste of time. Graver put up with such shit from her at the expense of everyone else on the set because they had a relationship off camera and, well, the power of the pussy prevailed.
In the movie Educating Nina, which was essentially her first movie, Juliet Anderson and Nina were constantly bickering over the smallest minutia. There were only a few films in which I walked out on and this was one of them. My basic issue was that a weekend shoot was turning into 2 weeks. Because Juliet was a friend of mine, I just passed on scale, which let her find someone else without any obligations to me. But Juliet had put a lot of her own money into this project, as well as promo efforts into Nina, and she ended up losing money on a project that was supposed to give her a secure future because Nina fucked up Juliet's vision of what might have become one of the greatest adult genre films of all time.
