However, her recent work on the documentary ‘Dick Johnson is Dead‘ got popularity because of its unusual issue. The film is all about how her Dad is dealing with his condition i.e. dementia. Kristen has filmed her Dad in the film by repetitively killing him until he finally dies which absolutely left the spectators speechless and made them face their fears of death. She said in an interview about the whole idea regarding the film which actually popped up after she had an unusual dream of a man in a casket who claimed himself to be Dick Johnson.
According to her, the whole plot was very risky and grave and at times she also thought of quitting however the thought of dealing with the issue not only for her father but also for thousands of dementia patients kept her going.
