SUMMARY per IMbd.com
A mother/waitress, a misanthropic author, and a gay artist form an unlikely friendship after the artist is in an accident.
The trend seems to be that Writers are becoming Directors and Producers. A lot of Crowd-sourcing is going on.
I believe this film will be a classic. Even after looking at the continuity bloopers, I realize I never even noticed them. I like the way the writer has kept the concept simple yet has extremely well-developed and possibly slightly exaggerated characters. It’s like they move themselves into the story.
