Loktev came across Tom Bishell's book of short stories God Lives in St. Petersburg and read it because she had been born in St. Petersburg. She decided to adapt the short story Expensive Trips Nowhere into the film The Loneliest Planet transporting the setting from Kazakhstan to Georgia.[2]
In 1989, when she was 19, her father was severely injured in an automobile accident. The event was the subject of her 1998 documentary Moment of Impact.[7]
