Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story

The film was based in large part on telephone interviews that Mabbott conducted with Shane over the year before her death in 2019. Production on the film was announced in 2022. According to Rosenberg-Lee, the film benefitted from the contrast between Mabbott's knowledge about Shane and Rosenberg-Lee's relative lack of knowledge. ==Distribution==
