UNks Hoffmann wazalelwa kubugcisa be-indie nakwilizwe elibambeleyo kwiminyaka yoo-1980. Unina, uJanet Susan Mary Hoffmann, wayenguViva, enye yeenkwenkwezi kwiifilimu zendlu ka-Andy Warhol ekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960. Nangona kunjalo, unokukhunjulwa kakuhle ngokuba semnxebeni noMnu Warhol xa wadutyulwa nguValerie Solanas (wayenenwele ngelo xesha). Amanye amalungu osapho aquka owayengumyeni kaViva uMichel Auder, umculi wevidiyo otshate umfoti uCindy Sherman. Kwaye UNks Hoffmann wakhulela kwigumbi ehotele i-Chelsea, intandokazi yeqela lika Mnu. Warhol's Factory kwaye, kule minyaka idlulileyo, uninzi lwezinto ezaziwayo zoncwadi, umculo kunye nobugcisa. Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1980 i-punk kaSid Vicious yayiphelile, kwaye abahlali baqalisa ukunikezela kwiziyobisi nakuGawulayo. Nangona kunjalo, ihotele igcine umoya wayo wobugcisa kunye nokuyila. UNks Hoffmann uyikhumbula kakuhle. Yayiyindawo entle kakhulu ukuba angakhula kuyo, utshilo, kwaye yayiyindlela eyahlukileyo yokukhula kwisiXeko saseNew York. Ihotele leyo yayisebenza njengedolophu encinci, phantse. Akunakwenzeka ngoku ukuba ube neminyaka emithandathu ubudala kunye nokuzimela eManhattan, kodwa i-Chelsea yanikezela lo mmandla omncinci okhuselweyo. Ndandingumhlobo kunye nentsimbi kwaye ndangena engxakini kwiipaseji.
Ingxaki njengokufumana ibhotile yokuqhekeka ngamanye amaxesha.
UNks Hoffmann ukhumbula ukuba umama wakhe wabonisa incwadi engashicilelwanga ebizwa UGaby e-Chelsea, ukuthatha kwi-classic kaKay Thompson Eloise . Ngokungafaniyo no-Eloise, kwakungekho kuncokola nomongikazi okanye ukondla iitumato kufudo lwezilwanyana. Ndicinga ukuba bekungokuhamba kwam izinja zam kwisitrato i-23rd kwaye ndingena kumlo malunga nenja. Oko kunye nokudibana nomhlobo wam umfana ongenakhaya owayehlala ekoneni, kwaye efumana iziyobisi epasejini. U-Eloise ubonakala ngathi ungumzala oqinileyo, okruqulayo ngokuthelekisa.
Ngelixa kufafazwa ii-bohemians ezinomdla, ubomi babunobunkunkqele. UNks Hoffmann, udadewabo onesiqingatha kunye nonina bebesemsebenzini kwaye bengasebenzi. Uyakhumbula ukuba umnini-mhlaba wayemxelela — yonke imihla — ukuba ahlawule umama wakhe irente, neyathi ekugqibeleni yakhokelela ekukhuleni kwakhe umsebenzi. Besitsala nzima ngokwenene, UNks Hoffmann uyacacisa. Umama wayengumama ongatshatanga, ekhulisa mna nodadewethu. Umama unetalente engakholelekiyo yokuhlala emhlabeni ngaphandle kobume bendabuko, kunye nomhlobo wakhe, owayekwintengiso, wandibeka kwintengiso xa ndandineminyaka emihlanu. Kwakungenxa yokwenza imali. Ukuma ngaphandle kwaba Musa ukwenza iziyobisi indawo yoluntu kunye noDrew Barrymore. Ukujonga imvelaphi yakhe, kubonakala ngathi sisihloko awayenokwazi ngakumbi ngaso kunolutsha oluninzi.
Iintengiso ziye zavela ngakumbi nangakumbi. 
Okwangoku kukaKevin Costner kunye noGaby Hoffmann kwicandelo lamaphupha.
UNks Hoffmann wakhawuleza waba yintshatsheli eya kumntwana ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1980 kunye nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, ukuvela kwi Intsimi yamaphupha , Malume uBuck kwaye Ukulala eSeattle. Mhlawumbi ukhunjulwa kakhulu ngokudlala ingxelo encinci kaDemi Moore kwi-1995 ezayo yamahlaya Ngoku nangoko. Njengo Samantha omncinci owayefuna ukwamkeleka kubahlobo bakhe abathathu, U-Hoffmann wayeyintombazana engaqhelekanga eyayithanda ukwenza iintlanganiso kwaye nabazali bayo babeqhawula umtshato. Ihlala ichazwa njengenguqulelo yabasetyhini ye- Yima ecaleni kwam, Ifilimu iyathandeka kangangokuba i-ABC Family ngoku isebenza ukuyiguqula ibe luthotho lweTV. Ngaphandle kothotho lweefilimu eziphumeleleyo, UNks Hoffmann akazange azive ezinikele kulo msebenzi wokubambela. Ubanga ukuba wayesebenza nje ngemali, kunye nokuxhasa usapho. UViva wenza njengomphathi wakhe, ngelixa ebonakala kwiifilimu ezincinci ezinje Indoda engenabuso ngokwakhe. UNks. Hoffmann wayedla ngokuziva ukuba sele eza kuyeka. Ndabhengeza umhlala phantsi malunga nezihlandlo ezine xa ndandisengumntwana, ukhumbula ehleka. Ndandihlala ndisithi, ‘ndifuna [nje] ukuba kwibanga lesithathu,’ kwaye umama athi, ‘Ewe awufuni kusebenza! Lishishini elibi! ’Kwaye emva kweenyanga ezimbini ndanditshintsha ingqondo, umama athi,‘ Masiyokwenza imuvi! ’
Kwaye ke uNkskz. Hoffmann uthathe umhlala-phantsi kwiifilimu, ezinokuba zazothusa wonke umntu ngaphandle kwakhe. Bendihlala ndisazi ukuba xa ndiphumelele kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo ndiza kuya kwikholeji. Khange ndiyicinge ke le ndiyishiyayo. . . Ndandifuna nje ukufunda uncwadi nokubhala. Wabuyela eNew York evela eCalifornia waya kwiKholeji yaseBard. Wafunda uncwadi. Uye wakhukuliseka. Ukanti ngekhe ayeke ukubamba. Ngokwengxenye, UNks Hoffmann uthi, kungenxa yokuba ebengazi enye indlela yokwenza imali (nangona ebonisa ukuba akasokuze enze imali efanayo nale wayenzayo xa wayesemncinci, Njengemiboniso bhanyabhanya emikhulu yaseHollywood — apho kukho ezimbalwa kwaye zimbalwa — zihlawula ngaphezulu kakhulu kuneefilimu ze-indie anomdla kuzo ngoku. Kodwa inyani yokuba evakalelwa kukuba unyamezele kulo msebenzi wenza ukuba kube nzima ukubamba eminye imisebenzi.
Ukusuka kwimidlalo yeqonga ngokuthe ngcembe wabuyela ekubambeni kwefilimu. Ngokutsho kukaNks Hoffmann, inkqubo ende kakhulu, edidayo. Wayenomdla kwaye akazinikelanga ngokupheleleyo emsebenzini. Ndidinga ukuntywilisela umnwe wam kwakhona. . . Ndandingazimiselanga. Khange ndilunge. Ukuba wenza into ethile enesiqingatha se-esile, awuyi kuba ulungile. Ekugqibeleni, uzibekele umhla wokugqibela wokuyifumana le ndlela, kwaye kwiinyanga ezimbini kamva Ifayile yeCrystal Iprojekthi yeza.
Sebastian Silva's ICrystal Fairy, Apho uNkosazana Hoffmann wadlala kunye noMichael Cera , Ichazwe njengefilimu yendlela yehippie-trippy. Njengomfazi omncinci-echazwe ngokwahlukeneyo kuphononongo njenge-chakra-toting, uthando-lokushumayela umoya wasimahla (NPR) kunye nothixokazi-mhlaba womhlaba () INew York Post ) -Swirls kwiscreen, umlingiswa kaCera uJamie (owamkelekileyo kwihazine yecocaine) umbona njengenkanyamba. Amandla omoya ovuthuzayo kaNks Hoffmann angenisa le movie malunga neqela lamashumi amabini ahamba ngeChile ukufumana iSan Pedro cactus enomgangatho weemvakalelo. Yintoni enokuba ibelilinye nje ibali malunga nabantu baseMelika abasebenzisa iziyobisi iba ngumzobo ofanelekileyo wokwahluka ngokwenkcubeko.
Abadlali badutyulwa kwindawo yaseChile. Iveki ichithwe eSantiago kusenziwa imveliso yaphambi kwexesha. UNks Hoffmann wabona eli xesha njengeyona ndlela ifanelekileyo yokufumana isixeko, kuba uSebastian uvela apho. Sangena kwangoko kuluntu, kwaye sasihlala endlwini yabazali bakhe. Kwakungoko nangoko, ndinikwe ubomi obupheleleyo. Emva koko uye emantla ukuya kwifilimu, uchaza inkqubo kunye nelizwe ngenzondelelo. Ndiyayithanda. Abantu babemangalisa. . . Ukuba kumdlalo bhanyabhanya ohambahambayo kuyatya konke. Ndiyathanda ukufumana indawo ezinje ngaleya ndlela. Ujonga umlawuli kunye neenkwenkwezi ngokulinganayo ngokuqinisekileyo, esithi, ndiza kulandela uSebastian kwintlango evuthayo nangaluphi na usuku. Ndinokholo kuye njengomenzi wefilimu kunye nomhlobo. Kwaye kaMichael Cera-isimilo sakhe sichazwa ngu Amatye agiqekayo njenge-anal, jerk elawulayo, i-cokehead ewohlokayo ngokwesondo kwaye engakhuselekanga ngokukhathazeka-uthi, uMichael ungomnye wabantu ababalaseleyo endakha ndadibana nabo. Unetalente ngendlela emangalisayo; Kungenxa yoko le nto [enako] ukubonakala engathandeki kumdlalo bhanyabhanya.
Nangona ayisoloko ingummandla okanye ibali okanye uphononongo oluhle ngokubanzi olubonakala ngathi lubangela ukuxoxwa kakhulu kwale filimu; abantu balungisiwe kuloo nto yokuba, xa uCrystal Fairy ehamba ze, utyhilwa ukuba uneenwele zomzimba. Kuyo yonke le nto, uJamie ubhekisa kuye njengeCrystal Hairy kwaye wenza iziqhulo malunga nefarm yakhe yangaphantsi. (Isimilo sikaCera, kufanelekile ukuba siqaphele, akufuneki ukuba sibhenele kuthi.) Lo mbono ukwakhokelele kwingqikelelo yokuba ingaba esi sigqibo besinomyalezo ofihlakeleyo nokuba uNkosazana Hoffmann wayenxibe i-merkin, ingxoxo afumanisa ukuba ayihlekisi. . 
UMichael Cera noGaby Hoffmann badlala indawo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya ozayo 'Crystal Fairy.'
Abantu bathe phithi yile yokuba ndinenwele zomzimba. Bacinga ukuba yile ngxelo inkulu siyenzayo. Oko ndim nje oze. Ndifumene malunga nomdlalo bhanyabhanya kwiintsuku ezilishumi ngaphambi kokuba ndikhwele inqwelomoya. Andinalo ixesha lokukhulisa iinwele zam zekhwapha kunye nesihlahla. Besingenzi sitetimenti. Kwenzeka ukuba ndijongeka nje kanjalo. Yayingeyonto malunga neCrystal Fairy.
Kodwa iinwele zomzimba zazithetha ukuba yena ayikhange ibonakale njengawo wonke umdlali weqonga esikrinini. Ngaba awufanelanga ukuba utye kwaye uxube yonke into engezantsi kwamashiya ngaphambi kokuba ukhulule?
Unksz Hoffmann uyaqhubeka: Yinkcazo engaphaya kwinkcubeko ngokubanzi yokuba abantu bacinga ukuba senza ingxelo. Inokuba njalo soze nokuba ndingavele ndibenje. Abantu bathe phithi ngumdlalo weqonga ongenaboya, onodoli uBarbie ongenamafutha. Abakwazi ukucinga ukuba abantu bafuna nantoni na ngaphandle kwaleyo. Xa zikhona, zijongwa phantse njengengxelo yezopolitiko. Jonga kuLena Dunham. Ungumfazi oqaqambileyo kwaye abantu abanakuyeka ukuthetha ngendlela akhaliphe ngayo ukuzibonisa ehamba ze, endikufumanisa ukuba uyazithoba kwaye uyintlekisa. Ukuba u-Angelina Jolie wayehamba ze kwiscreen akukho mntu wayenokuthi unesibindi. Intsingiselo yeyokuba uLena unesibindi kuba akajongi indlela ekufanele ukuba ajongeke ngayo. Ndicinga ukuba lihlazo.
Abafaki banokubona okuninzi ngoNks. Hoffmann kungekudala. Uya kubonakala kwisiqendu se-arc ezintathu Amantombazana kwaye usebenza kwimovie yenkqubo kamabonwakude UVeronica Mars . Unksz Hoffman uqaphele ukuba le projekthi yokugqibela ixhaswa ngemali phantse yonke yiKickstarter. Ukwenza ifilimu kuya kuba yinto yedemokhrasi, utshilo. Ukuba uyakwazi ukubamba ikhamera ukuya esweni ungenza imuvi. Iyazibhuqa ivulekile kwaye iyonwabisa. Inkqubo ye studio iya isiba ncinane kwaye ingabi semxholweni.
Kwaye, ukuba useNew York, unokumbona ebhadula ejikeleza indawo yakhe entsha, eFort Greene.
Abalandeli be Ngoku nangoko unokuba notyekelo lokucinga ngomgca wokugqibela womlinganiswa wakhe kumdlalo bhanyabhanya: Kuphela kuxa usamkela ixesha lakho elidlulileyo apho uya phambili nyhani. Mhlawumbi uThomas Wolfe akazange aphinde abuyele ekhaya, kodwa ndiyifumene indlela eya apho.
Kodwa, ngelixa esenokubuyela emsebenzini wakhe wobuntwana-kwaye uhlala eNew York kwakhona-Nks. UHoffmann akaziva enethemba malunga nokubuyela njengoSamantha. Angakwenza njani oko? Ihotele i-Chelsea yathengiswa ngo-2011 kumqambi uJoseph Chetrit, ozama ukuvuselela indawo yamagcisa njengehotele ephakamayo, kakhulu kokungoneliseki kwabaqeshi. Kwaye njengokuba nabani na owakhe weva abantu belila iNew York yakudala eyazi, isixeko sitshintshe kakhulu kule minyaka ingama-30 idlulileyo.
UNksz Hoffman uthi, iDowntown Manhattan kubonakala ngathi yindawo enkulu yokuthenga kum ngoku. IHarlem igcine isimilo sayo, kodwa ezantsi edolophini yayiyindawo efanelekileyo yokuhlala njengomculi kwi-80's. Ngoku kuyadinisa ukugqitha emini. Ndicinga ukuba ngelishwa ayisiyondawo yamagcisa kwakhona, nangona iseyindawo amagcisa atsaleleke kuyo.
Unamagama anobubele eLos Angeles, apho yena nomama wakhe bafudukela khona ngo-1993. Kubonakala ngathi yindawo apho abantu banendawo engapheleli nje ngokwendawo, kodwa eyona ndawo yokuphila enika abantu ithuba lokufumana uhlobo lwendawo yokuyila. Inika i-psyche yabo amandla okulahleka. Ndiziva ngathi iLos Angeles yindawo elungileyo yokuba ngumculi. INew York inzima ngakumbi. Wongeza umvuzo wakhe ophantsi (malunga ne-100 leedola ngosuku) kwiifilimu ezizimeleyo ngomsebenzi kamabonwakude kodwa uyavuma, Kuthatha onke amandla ombane ukuhlawula irente. Kuya kusiba nzima kwaye kunzima ukuthethelela irente eNew York. Kudala uhlawula ngempumlo ukuze uphile ebhokisini, kodwa ubunaso isixeko. Ndisavakalelwa njalo, kodwa ngakumbi i-Starbucks kunye neBarnes & Nobles bayidla ivenkile eManhattan, kunzima ngakumbi ukuzithethelela ngokuzincama okumangalisayo.
Mhlawumbi ngekhe wenze indlela eya ekhaya. Okanye, ubuncinci hayi kwindawo enye owawunayo ebusheni bakho. Kodwa uhambo oluya phambili lungangqina yonke into inomdla njengangaphambili.
