Diane is the director of the now-screening "Eraserheads: Combo on The Run." The docu-film was originally intended to run in cinemas for a limited release, but due to public demand, it was extended until March 30.

In an exclusive interview with The STAR, the two shared how it was like working together on a project given their past relationship.

"It was very difficult. Just joking," quipped Dianne.

Kidding aside, she described the Eraserheads frontman as "super cool." "He's one of the coolest people I know. I mean we trust each other a lot so I think in that way, very collaborative. He's always supportive and he knows that I also sort of — I've been his manager for a long time so that protective instinct is always there.

"So, I think he knows that it's also applied to any kind of work also, which is not to say that I wasn't objective in the filmmaking."

She made sure that they "upheld their truth, didn't add anything, subtract anything" in making the documentary. "(We) just presented (it). I'm also very confident about him as a person, as a human being,"
