Author Skip Press said:
"In America we take so many things for granted, and
the most consequential things can seem so mundane. We are
isolated from the grueling realities of other parts of the
world, where people mean things when they say them, because
their very survival might be at stake. Reading the
correspondence of Alan C. Baird and Anikó J.
Bartos, and watching the development of their co-written
screenplay across the Internet, with accompanying commentary
on each of the participants' lives, loves and longings, one
can't help but feel a little better about the world, and
our possibilities. May many more flowers like this one
come to bloom." |
ALSO: This project recently appeared in the Whitney Museum's Biennial Exhibition, and articles about it were published in British and Danish screenwriting magazines. It was even pitched on this DVD!

ONE LAST TOOT:
This book contains the novella version
