I worked in Hollywood as a reader and a would-be writer for about 6 years before I sold my first story.
'Blue Nights' is a story of loss: simple, wrenching, inconsolable loss.
When I was a young artist, and I would go look at other artists' career retrospectives, and I was often disappointed with the lack of story line... What was missing to me was the story of where the artist came from and how they got to where they were.
