When the Director and DP first visited Heidi Fleiss they decided to film her in her disused barn, away from her 30 or so loudly squawking Makaws, but on the day of the interview the Director changed her mind because she thought Heidi would be more relaxed surrounded by her exotic birds. Heidi does most of the interview with one of her Makaws - Reggie - on her shoulder and feeds him her coconut juice from time to time.
