Sally II

As I waited at the bus stop last night, a former student approached me. He's a filmmaker getting a marketing degree, which probably isn't a bad idea. At any rate, he confided to me that his wife of 8 yrs had just "come out gay" and he was having a hard time handling it. I've been there, done that, so I shared the little I know about such things, ending with William Goldman's writer's mantra, "It's all material." I did some of my best work about my own emotional roller-coaster ride, culminating in my short film Deconstructing Sally. I told him to think of all the good projects ahead of him.
